Physiotherapy Clinic – Expressions of Interest

INTRODUCTIONThe innovative Maribyrnong Sports Academy assists students to balance their academic and sporting goals in an athlete friendly environment, which provides support and flexible study options within Maribyrnong College.The sports program is overseen by the Sport Director and a Senior Management Team, with highly qualified coaches assigned to each of the sports offered. Programs are also provided for individual talented athletes from other sports; these currently include athletes from sports such as swimming, rowing, karate and ice skating.All student-athletes participate strength & conditioning and education sessions and have access to our Performance Services Program which includes access to one-on-one support related to psychology, wellbeing, nutrition and injury rehabilitation.The College has 1300 students in total, 570 of these are student-athletes on sport scholarship who partake in the MSA Program.MSA is now seeking expressions of interest from appropriate companies available to provide physiotherapy services on MSA’s campus to students (& possibly staff) on a user-pay basis.BACKGROUNDIn 2023, MSA employed a physiotherapist directly to provide physiotherapy services to individual athletes, monitor injury surveillance data and provide proactive screening and injury prevention interventions.The demand for individual physiotherapy service has far exceeded the resources MSA is able to provide and therefore we now seek proposals from a physiotherapy partner to establish a ‘pop up’ clinic onsite to provide services on a user pay basis predominantly for Year 7 – 10 athletes.The pop-up clinic would provide services including the following;

• A free of charge 1 hour acute injury clinic.
• User-pay Physiotherapy services to MSA student-athletes on-site.
• Priority access to the external commercial clinic for student-athletes if required.
• Note-keeping and timely reports as part of MSA’s injury management system.
• Book, reschedule and bill all appointments.
• Where applicable, communicate with key stakeholders.
