CHA Patient Journey.
At Connected Health Alliance Wollongong we offer a truly interdisciplinary approach to Hypermobility healthcare.
We believe the best outcomes for our patients come from collaboration, which is why we bring together multiple clinicians to work as a cohesive team.
Every Friday, our team meets for dedicated case conferences to discuss your care, ensuring that all perspectives are considered and that you benefit from a practical, well-rounded treatment plan.
This collaborative model not only leads to better results for our patients but also supports our team in preventing clinician burnout – ensuring that the care you receive is consistently comprehensive, meaningful and patient-centred.
In 2026, we are working towards implementing a cohesive interdisciplinary patient intake involving a GP, Physiotherapy and Dietetic assessment.
Who can book in with Connected Health Alliance?
At this stage we can only support clients who are able to attend in-person for at least an initial consult and every six months thereafter. Note, some therapies are offered in person only, but Telehealth sessions are available by negotiation with your Clinician depending on your individual management plan, capacity and goals. Dietetics consults (initials and reviews) are available both in person and via telehealth.
Please see individual clinician listings for availability/waitlist, and click the button below for pricing and rebate eligibility.
Our waitlisting and triage process.
NOTE: We are not currently accepting new client enquiries or waitlist submissions for medical care (Dr Megan Thomas) or Nicole Frost (Physiotherapy). Thank you for your patience and understanding.

A note on our waitlisting process
We aim to maintain a fair system for processing waitlisted clients. Please do not email us your medical history, symptoms or other details before we request these, as this will not expedite your waitlist position.
Several of our clinicians maintain public social media profiles to support advocacy and awareness in the HCTD space. While we value community engagement, we kindly ask that you do not send direct messages regarding waitlist positions, appointment requests, or personal medical information. Messages of this nature will not be responded to and will result in removal from the waitlist in cases of repeated contact. Thank you for understanding.
