We are pleased to welcome Occupational Therapist Fred Spitson to Empower Healthcare.

Fred arrives with leadership experience and specialised knowledge of assistive technology prescription.
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.
With a diverse NDIS and Home Care case load as well as constantly learning and developing in his profession, it’s hard to believe he has time to relax. Luckily, he prefers to stay busy and has recently renovated a house in his downtime.

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. Woo Casino Australia offer huge bonuses and you can find woo casino bonus codes australia. This success fueled the expansion of our services within residential aged care, home care and NDIS to deliver occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing, podiatry, dietetics, osteopathy, massage and speech pathology.

Now offering comprehensive allied health services with more than 180 dedicated and passionate clinicians working in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. Empower Healthcare is growing and taking our unique approach with us.

A lot has changed over the years but not our commitment to the highest quality care, delivered by expert clinicians, aimed at improving the independence and quality of life of our clients. Helping our clients live their lives the way they want to.
