What The Victorian Rehabilitation Centre does

The Victorian Rehabilitation Centre is a private rehabilitation hospital headquartered at 499 Springvale Road, Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia, operating as a subsidiary of Healthscope, one of Australia's largest private hospital operators. It runs 140+ rehabilitation beds across three Melbourne locations — Glen Waverley, Pascoe Vale, and Ivanhoe — and positions itself as one of the largest and most comprehensive private rehabilitation facilities in Australia.

The centre delivers a three-tiered service model: inpatient rehabilitation with 24/7 overnight care, day rehabilitation programs where patients attend one to two sessions per week, and Rehab at Home where clinicians visit patients in their residence. Its specialised program portfolio spans cardiac, orthopaedic, pain management, trauma, stroke and neurological, acquired brain injury, balance/falls, oncology, and respiratory rehabilitation, plus return-to-work programs. Core clinical infrastructure includes fully equipped physiotherapy treatment spaces, a large wheelchair-accessible rehabilitation gymnasium, a hydrotherapy pool, occupational therapy activity areas, daily-living-skills rooms, and computer retraining areas. The clinical team comprises Rehabilitation Physicians, specialist nurses, and allied health professionals including Psychologists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Social Workers, Speech Pathologists, Dieticians, and Neuropsychologists.

Revenue is generated through inpatient and day-program fees reimbursed by all major Australian private health funds, the Department of Veterans Affairs (Preferred Provider Tier 1 status), TAC (Transport Accident Commission), WorkCover, and self-funding patients. Go-to-market is referral-led: admissions originate from GPs, surgeons, allied health professionals, and hospital rehabilitation liaison coordinators, supported by GP education events, specialist accreditation programs, and digital eAdmissions/eReferrals portals. On-site integrated service partners — Melbourne Pain Group, HPS Pharmacies, Marina Radiology, and Australian Clinical Labs — provide co-located pain management, pharmacy, imaging, and pathology, creating a one-campus care continuum.

Revenue model

1. Private Health Insurance: The Victorian Rehabilitation Centre is recognised by all major health funds who reimburse treatment costs depending on the patient's level of coverage. Private health insurance is a primary revenue stream for inpatient and day rehabilitation programs.
2. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA): As a DVA partnering hospital, Gold Card holders may be admitted without prior approval in most cases. The centre has Preferred Provider (Tier 1) status for most procedures and provides a Veteran Liaison Officer.
3. Workers Compensation (WorkCover/TAC): The centre accepts patients funded by TAC (Transport Accident Commission) and WorkCover for trauma rehabilitation and approved pain management programs.
4. Self-Funding Patients: Patients without private health insurance are welcome. Self-funding options available for rehabilitation programs.
