Our Aurora Extras services help overcome those burdens by providing tailored programs that provide the right care, in the right setting and at the right cost.

- Require support for surgical preparation;
- Need to improve their wellbeing to enhance a safe return to work, transition back into the community or back to sport and recreation after an illness or injury: OR
- Simply, have individual wellness goals that they wish to achieve.

Referrals
A referral is not required for a consultation with an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist, although it is often helpful for clients to bring as much information about their health history that relates to their reason for seeing an allied health therapist.
