Funding for the CPS Program

Posted By Pello555

"Funding for the CPS Program"

About: Community Physiotherapy Service (CPS)

(as a service user),

The funding for the program may be stopped and it is very helpful for me to help with my emphysema. The exercise program helps many other patients also and people like me really need this. If the funding is stopped it becomes just like the NDIS which I believe can’t help people like me who need it but can’t use it. I would really appreciate it if this program was funded and continued so people in my position are able to access the program. Thank You,

Dear Pello555,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your thoughtful feedback regarding the Community Physiotherapy supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program at Cockburn. We are pleased to hear that the CPS program has been helping you manage your emphysema. Your feedback highlights the important difference this service makes for people living with chronic health conditions.

We appreciate and understand your concerns regarding the future funding of the service and your desire to see the program continue. At this stage, planning beyond December is still being considered and we are actively exploring options to attempt to secure ongoing funding for the service at Cockburn. Patient feedback such as yours is important and helps inform discussions about service planning and future delivery.

Thank you again for taking the time to advocate not only for yourself, but for others who benefit from this service. We are grateful for your contribution and wish you all the best with your ongoing health and rehabilitation.

Kind regards,

Hannah Whiting
