2024 Major Sponsor | Community Therapy
Last updated April 15, 2024
Community Therapy’s mission is to support, enable, and empower its clients to live enriched and meaningful lives.
Since Scott Lynch founded Community Therapy just eight years ago, it has become the largest private community allied health provider across the Hunter New England and Central Coast Local Health Districts of NSW. It boasts a team of more than 130 physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech pathologists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists, therapy assistants and administration professionals.
Community Therapy specialise in the care of older adults, people living with disabilities and children, and they are certified by SAI Global against the NDIS practice standards for the services they provide across the lands and waters of the Awabakal, Worimi and Darkinjung people.
It partners with approved community and residential aged care providers, disability service providers, private health insurers, rehab in the home providers, as well as primary healthcare teams to deliver expert multidisciplinary care to its local communities.
Becoming the major sponsor for the 2024 Primary Care Quality & Innovation Awards was an easy decision for our allied health team here at Community Therapy. We work hand in hand with hundreds of local aged care, disability, and primary care providers across this region, and feel so grateful not only to be able to support their clients, but also for the dedicated service our primary care partners provide our community.
Alongside allied healthcare services, Community Therapy launched an online training platform ‘Community Therapy Learning’ in 2021 and since then have had more than 25,000 healthcare workers across Australia upskill in training such as manual handling, infection control, aged care and NDIS courses.
In recent years Community Therapy has been recognised for such awards as Excellence in Large Business (Business Hunter), New Partner in Employability (University of Newcastle) and Technology in Health (2023 PHN Primary Care Quality & Innovation Awards).
Furthermore, Scott Lynch was named the Most Outstanding CEO/Director at the 2023 National Australian Disability Service Conference and Awards, as well as the Young Business Leader of the Year at the 2023 Newcastle Business Club Awards.
Innovation and excellence are at the core of Community Therapy’s team culture and services, leading to rapid growth whilst maintaining an outstanding reputation for expert mobile healthcare across the region.
