The multi-disciplinary allied health practice offers specialized care to the elderly and disabled by integrating a private practice model within the walls of aged care settings. In doing this, Concentric’s practice can offer a higher standard of care to those who are often overlooked by government standards. “Unfortunately, the government funding that is given to aged care homes for allied health –physiotherapy and occupational therapy, etc.– is not conducive to rehabilitation,” says Dr. Nick Young, Concentric’s CEO. “We thought we could integrate the private practice physiotherapy model of care, within an aged care setting.” Young began his career in private practice physiotherapy with a Sydney group of practices called Benchmark Physio. He worked as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to develop his craft and eventually became partner, taking over leadership of Benchmark’s Revesby clinic. Young still holds the role to this day, but about five years into his career he was inspired to start a new venture, which would come to revolutionize the industry.
