"the creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct"
Our Philosophy
We are built on the philosophy that a person's story and experience is core to their injury, illness, health and treatment. Our aim is to meet people wherever they are on their journey. Providing the best of each of our services to the people of Newcastle and the Hunter.
Our team is part of your team
If you already have a team of health care providers, we will work closely with them, to ensure you can continue to grow toward reaching your goals.
Not just for athletes
It is common for many people to feel uncertain about seeing a sports and exercise service, when they may not be a competitive sports person. Our philosophy is to treat everyone without reservation and without judgement, walking beside you with the ability and function that you have.
Acknowledgement of Country
We respectfully acknowledge the Awabakal people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land in which Return to Play is located. We pay respect to the Elders, past, present and emerging and acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, also paying our respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the significant place that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold in Australia, as the first Peoples of this Nation. We ask all those that walk, work and live on traditional Aboriginal lands to be respectful of culture and traditions.
