Open Door Clinic – Physiotherapy and Podiatry Services
In collaboration with the Salvation Army, The Open Door Health Clinic provides quality physiotherapy, podiatry, free of charge to adults in crisis or experiencing homelessness in South Australia.
The clinic aims to deliver hands-on quality care to help restore, maintain, and promote optimal function across a variety of areas. Our support services include foot and ankle injuries, chronic neck and back pain, and joint and muscle injuries.
People experiencing homelessness face many challenges and barriers to accessing health and social services – for example the requirement to attend multiple appointments in different locations. Our clinic addresses this by offering health services in a welcoming and non-judgemental environment.
Services are provided by professionally supervised undergraduate physiotherapy and podiatry students. This has the dual benefit of providing much needed community services and a rich learning experience for our students to hone their skills as well as develop their compassion and commitment to working with disadvantaged communities.
The clinic is located at the City Salvos, 277 Pirie St Adelaide SA 5000.
Walk-ins are accepted subject to availability. To book an appointment in advance, free call 1800 316 790.
