Cornerstone Medical Group extends its non-surgical, evidence-based spine and joint care beyond the clinic walls — bringing professional allied health services directly to patients in their homes and community settings.
Our home visit and funded care services are designed for patients who face barriers to attending a clinic — whether due to mobility limitations, complex health conditions, frailty, disability, or post-surgical recovery. We believe that access to high-quality musculoskeletal care should not depend on a patient’s ability to travel.
Cornerstone is excited to provide services under a range of government-funded programs, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the Support at Home Program, and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). We also offer private home visits for patients outside these programs.
A home visit brings your Cornerstone chiropractor or allied health practitioner directly to your place of residence — whether that’s a private home, retirement village, residential aged care facility, or supported living arrangement.
Home visits offer everything a clinic appointment does: a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise guidance, and care coordination — delivered in the environment where you actually live and move.
Home visits are particularly well-suited to:
Our practitioners are equipped to deliver a broad range of services in the home setting, including:
Home visits are scheduled in advance and typically run 45–60 minutes for an initial assessment and 30–45 minutes for follow-up appointments. A travel fee may apply depending on location. Our practitioners carry all necessary equipment and can treat patients who are bed-bound, wheelchair-dependent, or have limited floor mobility.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme funds reasonable and necessary supports for Australians under 65 living with a permanent and significant disability. Chiropractic and allied health services are fundable under the NDIS where they are included in a participant’s approved plan and linked to their disability-related support needs.
Cornerstone provides a range of services including Physiotherapy, Chiropractic and other musculoskeletal services to NDIS participants. We work closely with your care coordinator and plan managers to coordinator our Home Visit sessions.
Our services are delivered in-clinic or in the home, depending on the participant’s needs and plan.
Relevant NDIS support categories include:
Cornerstone works with plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants. We are happy to liaise directly with support coordinators to streamline onboarding and service delivery.
The Support at Home Program is the Australian Government’s reformed aged care program, replacing the previous Home Care Packages (HCP) system from 1 July 2025. It is designed to help older Australians remain living independently at home for longer by funding a range of health, personal, and practical supports tailored to individual needs.
Chiropractic and Physiotherapy services are recognised allied health supports under the Support at Home Program where they contribute to maintaining or improving a participant’s functional independence, mobility, and quality of life.
Our practitioners work with Support at Home participants to address the musculoskeletal factors that most commonly affect independence in older adults — including back pain, joint stiffness, balance impairment, and mobility decline.
Services we provide under Support at Home include:
Where a Support at Home participant also has a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan prepared by their GP — including a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) — they may be eligible for Medicare rebates under MBS Item 10964 for allied health services. This can provide up to 5 Medicare-subsidised visits per calendar year, reducing out-of-pocket costs for eligible participants.
Cornerstone can liaise with the participant’s GP practice to confirm CDM plan status and coordinate claiming where applicable.
Referrals can be made by:
We recommend contacting our team with the participant’s Support at Home approval details so we can confirm service eligibility, availability, and any applicable fees or subsidies before the first appointment.
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme is an entry-level government-funded program providing basic support services to older Australians (generally 65 years and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) who need some assistance to live independently at home. The CHSP is assessed and coordinated through My Aged Care.
Allied health and therapy services — including chiropractic and physiotherapy— are available under the CHSP where they support the older person’s ability to remain at home and maintain functional independence.
Under the CHSP, Cornerstone can deliver services in the following categories:
Services are typically co-contributed — meaning the client pays a small contribution toward the cost of the service, with the government subsidising the remainder. Contribution amounts are determined at the My Aged Care assessment level.
To access CHSP-funded services through Cornerstone, a person must:

Cornerstone Medical Group — Non-Surgical Spine & Joint Care, delivered where you need it most.
Home visits work well for older adults with limited mobility, people recovering from surgery or a hospital stay, those with progressive conditions affecting movement, and anyone who finds clinic attendance genuinely difficult. They’re also a good option for carers who can’t easily leave home.
The CHSP is generally for people who need a small amount of support to stay at home. Support at Home is designed for people with more complex or ongoing needs requiring a higher level of coordinated care. My Aged Care will assess which program is appropriate for you based on your situation. If you’re unsure, give My Aged Care a call on 1800 200 422 — or speak to your GP, who can help initiate the process.
A travel fee may apply depending on your location and the funding program you’re under. We’ll always be upfront about costs before your first visit. For NDIS, Support at Home, or CHSP participants, travel may be covered under your funding — contact our team to confirm.
Yes. Our practitioners are experienced in assessing and treating patients with significant mobility limitations, including those who are bed-bound or wheelchair-dependent. We adapt our techniques to work safely and effectively in whatever position is most comfortable and accessible for you.
Cornerstone can deliver musculoskeletal assessment and treatment, pain management, falls prevention, functional exercise programming, and orthotic assessment. The specific services funded will depend on what has been approved in your individual plan/s.
Absolutely. We understand that navigating funding programs and health services can feel overwhelming. Family members, carers, and support coordinators are welcome to contact our team to ask questions, make referrals, or arrange appointments on behalf of a participant or patient.
Our friendly and hardworking staff will endeavour to response to your queries and booking requests within the same day.
We accept referrals from GP (CDM/TCA Plans), NDIS (Plan and Self Managed), Workcover, TAC, DVA, Support at Home (Aged Care) and all other private health funds.
