Who we are
Welcome to SHY Rehab
Welcome to SHY Rehab — your trusted partner in personalised care and rehabilitation. We proudly operate two clinics, one based on the Gold Coast and the other in Hervey Bay, while delivering services across a wide region including the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Logan, Hervey Bay, Childers, and even as far as Mount Isa. Whether in our clinic or in the comfort of your own home, our mission is to turn challenges into achievements through compassionate, tailored support that empowers every individual.
At SHY Rehab, our services are grounded in the latest scientific research and clinical evidence. We are committed to staying up to date with best-practice approaches to ensure every intervention is effective, safe, and tailored to individual needs across the disability, aged care, and rehabilitation sectors.
We promote overall well-being through a holistic, interconnected approach that considers the physical, emotional, social, and environmental factors affecting each person’s life. Our care is as unique as the individuals we support.
We offer free initial consultations to help individuals and families better understand our services, discuss their goals, and receive tailored guidance. This ensures an informed, accessible, and personalised pathway to care and support.
Our Values
We approach every individual with genuine empathy and understanding. Our support is personalised and respectful, guiding each person through their journey toward recovery, independence, and well-being.
We are committed to empowering our clients by equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to feel safe, capable, and independent—especially within their own homes and communities.
We uphold the rights, choices, and dignity of every person. We value individual autonomy and support clients in making informed decisions that reflect their unique needs and goals.
We believe in the power of teamwork. Our multidisciplinary approach involves working closely with clients, families, carers, and other professionals to create cohesive and effective care plans.
