Session Overview: This session will move through the client’s journey to illustrate the key components of the vestibular audiology-physiotherapy partnership; starting with targeted questions to better identify when cross referral is appropriate and where to refer in Queensland. The assessment component will focus on how a low-tech physiotherapy assessment compliments a high-tech diagnostics session; and why we might want both (and why a physiotherapist asks for the ‘eye’ and the audiologist asks for the ‘trace’). Moving through to rehabilitation, although goal setting is highly individualised, rehabilitation principles can be categorised based on assessment outcomes. This will be demonstrated though interactive case examples.
