Allied Health at Evercare

At Evercare, we’re building a more connected approach to healthcare, bringing together different areas of expertise to support you throughout your health journey.

Alongside our Evercare GPs, you can access Allied Health services in two ways: through Allied Health professionals who are part of the Evercare team, and through Allied Heath businesses who work from our clinics.

Allied Health available in-clinic

Our clinics are also home to other Allied Health businesses who provide specialist services across a range of areas.

These practitioners bring their own expertise to our clinics, giving you more choice when looking for additional support with your health and wellbeing.

Each business manages their own appointments, fees and booking process. They charge externally to Evercare and invoice their patients directly. Please direct any questions to the contact details listed below for each practitioner.

You can explore the Allied Health businesses who are available at Evercare clinics below.
