Welcome to Plena Healthcare

We deliver high-quality and personalised mobile allied health services to Australians in residential aged care facilities and community settings.

Our name ‘Plena’ reflects our ethos– it comes from Latin and means ‘holistic’– and this drives everything we do.

At Plena Healthcare, we offer more than allied health services– we offer care, connection and community. Our passion for what we do enables us to create strong relationships with clients, staff and families, so we can provide optimal healthcare for all ages and life stages.

Our services include:

• Physiotherapy

• Occupational Therapy

• Podiatry

• Speech pathology

• Dietetic services

We’re here to make life easier for you. Because of our history and experience, we understand how to integrate with aged care facility teams, offer cost-effective clinical excellence, and holistic healthcare solutions– all delivered with a smile.

We also love what we do, and who we do it with. That makes a huge difference, as we genuinely love working in aged care and with residents, and making their day.

Plena Healthcare is the largest provider of allied mobile health services in Australia. Every day, we work together united by a common purpose: to provide quality care so people can live healthier, happier and more independent lives.
