Having developed his skills in supported independent living, specially designed housing, home modifications and assistive technologies, Fred discovered a passion for prescribing complex equipment and is now bringing his much sought-after skills to add to our suite of Occupational Therapy service offerings.
Fred has experience in assessing for and prescribing standing power wheelchairs; bedding composite; hoists; scooters; bath lifts and light vehicle adaptability equipment. His interest lies in providing people with the tools and skills they need to achieve their goals.
I love working with participants and families, showing them what is possible to help improve their independence and help them achieve their goals and aspirations.

About Empower Healthcare
We Change Lives
Changing lives is what we do. Delivering high quality allied health services is how we do it.
Empower Healthcare was founded in 2016 by two people who were determined to improve the standards of allied health services in residential aged care. With industry knowledge and an innovative approach, Adam and Matthew set about defining what allied health services can be when quality and person-centred care is placed before all else in healthcare.
The partnership, that merged clinical expertise with business acumen, soon established Empower Healthcare as a leading provider of quality physiotherapy services in residential aged care facilities in Victoria.
