Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) Program

An STRC program lets you take advantage of specialist knowledge to feel strong, healthy and happy again.

Short-term Restorative Care (STRC) is designed to help you recover from injury or illness. It's a free service funded by My Aged Care, and it aims to get you moving and helps you retain your independence.

Get started

What’s more it is completely driven by you. You identify the goals and let us know what you’d like to achieve. We then match you with the right restorative care program and the relevant experts to help you reach those goals. Over eight weeks we work together to deliver the program in the comfort of your home or within the community.

We are passionate about your wellbeing. Let us help provide the support you need to feel like you again.

Improved mobility and support lifts quality of life

Despite living independently in a unit in the community, with regular support from her daughter and friends, 87 year old Judy had become socially isolated. With a Feros Care Short Term Restorative Care program designed by a multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals, she was able to improve her mobility, reduce her pain and improve her overall health.

Intervention and a tailored program can help anyone

When 89 year old Lorraine fell and broke her wrist, she was suddenly unable to manage her daily activities. With her son unavailable to provide the daily care required while her wrist mended, a move into full-time residential care seemed inevitable. However, with a Feros Care Short Term Restorative Care program designed specifically for Lorraine, she was able to remain independent in her own home.
