About

Goodlife Physio’s DNA

Goodlife Physio was created by Joelene Gathercole in 2013. The goal was to create a modern, client focused clinic, embracing 3 core areas:

Our Mission

At Goodlife Physio, we provide high-quality, personalised care to help individuals move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting our community in achieving optimal physical health through evidence-based treatment, compassion, and collaboration.

Our Story

Established in 2013 on Head Street, Goodlife Physio began as a one-person operation with Joelene at the helm and an off-site receptionist. Her vision for a compassionate and client-centered approach to physiotherapy struck a chord in the local community.

As the practice grew organically, it moved to Kay Street, where Tim Green joined the team. This expansion laid the foundation for broader services and more support.

In 2017, the move to Livingstone Street marked a significant milestone. The new clinic space—four times larger than the previous location—introduced:

  • Bright, spacious treatment rooms
  • A private Clinical Pilates studio
  • Full-time reception services
  • Space for collaboration with allied health professionals

Today, we’ve evolved into a multidisciplinary clinic with a skilled team of five physiotherapists, supporting a wide range of clients including:

  • Local sporting clubs
  • NDIS participants
  • WorkCover (WCV) and TAC clients
  • Medicare referrals
  • Private clients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and physical health needs

We’ve grown with purpose—driven by community trust, a passion for quality care, and the belief that movement is central to a joyful and independent life.
