Voice of our clients
“After a cycling accident in 2022, doctors discovered a chondrosarcoma in my pelvis, leading to major surgery that left me without functional use of my right leg. Suddenly, I was reliant on a wheelchair, unable to drive, and unsure what the future would look like.
One of my biggest goals was to regain my independence. With support from the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams at DPV Health, I completed a driver assessment and rehabilitation program using a left-foot accelerator.
In August, I successfully passed my on-road driving assessment and regained my licence.
Getting my licence back has given me the freedom and independence I thought I’d lost. I’m incredibly grateful to the team at DPV Health for helping me get back on the road and back to doing the things I love.”

Voice of our clients
“Kelly loves going to Farm Vigano. She enjoys the activities at the centre. I have been very happy with the team at Farm Vigano, the service is great and the staff are wonderful”
– Anne, Participants Mother
Voice of our clients
“We are very happy with the service. We have noticed that whenever Lee Anne shows interest in something, the team at Farm Vigano explores it and provides support accordingly. For example, when Lee Anne expressed interest in volunteering at a childcare centre, the team was very helpful in facilitating this. The staff are supportive and communicate well. At times, Lee Anne enjoys the program so much that she does not want to come home. We couldn’t be happier with the current services”
