We’ve made some changes to the way we deliver Women, Youth and Children health services to help slow the spread of COVID-19. You can find out more about what's changed on the Temporary changes page.
Our physiotherapy services provide assessment, information, exercise advice, early intervention and prevention for women, youth and children with the following concerns:
- women from 3 to 12 months after birth with mastitis

You can access this service through the CHI line on 02 5124 9977 between 8am and 5pm weekdays.
