For more than 40 years, Burnie Brae has been a trusted name in the northside community — a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping locals live well, stay active and feel connected. With a Community Centre based right in the heart of Chermside, Burnie Brae is far more than just a centre; it’s a thriving hub of care, wellness, and friendship.
From in-home aged care to social activities and health programs, their mission has always been the same — to empower people to live their life in the home and community they love. Burnie Brae proudly supports individuals and families right across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay, delivering trusted care and allied health services wherever they’re needed.
A Holistic Approach to Care
Burnie Brae’s philosophy centres on independence and wellbeing. Their dedicated team takes a holistic, person-first approach, tailoring support around each individual’s goals, strengths, and preferences. Whether it’s help around the house, personal care, transport, or social engagement, their services are designed to help you stay safe, comfortable, and active at home for as long as possible.
But one area that truly sets Burnie Brae apart is its comprehensive Allied Health and Exercise Clinic, located at their welcoming centre on Kuran Street, Chermside and offered in-home across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay.
Expert Allied Health Care
Through their Healthy Connections team, Burnie Brae offers a wide range of Allied Health services designed to support your physical health, mobility and overall quality of life. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from an injury, or simply aiming to stay fit and strong, their skilled professionals are here to help.
Services include:
- Physiotherapy – hands-on treatment and exercise programs for pain relief, injury recovery and improved mobility.
- Exercise Physiology – tailored programs to boost fitness, manage chronic conditions, and build confidence in movement.
- Remedial Massage Therapy – easing tension and promoting relaxation for better physical and mental wellbeing.
- Hydrotherapy – gentle, low-impact water-based sessions ideal for rehabilitation, joint health and pain management.
- Tailored Exercise Sessions & Clinical Classes – fun, social and professionally supervised sessions that combine movement, education and motivation.
Each service is delivered by qualified, compassionate specialists who take the time to understand your personal goals. No two plans are the same — your program is designed specifically for you, so you can progress safely and confidently at your own pace.
Accessible, Affordable and Open to Everyone
One of the best things about Burnie Brae’s Allied Health services is how accessible they are. You don’t need a referral to make an appointment, and the team welcomes everyone — not just members.
Burnie Brae accepts a wide range of funding options, including:
- Home Care Packages (Support at Home from 1 November 2025)
- Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
- Medicare (EPC), NDIS and DVA
- Private health funds
They also offer discounts for pensioners, ensuring high-quality care remains affordable for all.
Appointments can take place at the Chermside clinic or, if preferred, in your own home (across North Brisbane & Moreton Bay regions) – ideal for those who need extra flexibility or support.
Supporting Healthy Ageing
The Burnie Brae team understands that good health is about more than just treating symptoms. Their goal is to help you stay strong, mobile, and independent, so you can keep enjoying the lifestyle you love.
Their exercise programs and clinical groups are particularly popular with older adults looking to maintain movement and balance, manage conditions like arthritis or diabetes, or simply enjoy the social side of being active with others.
Every session is guided by experienced health professionals who create a safe, supportive environment. Many participants say they not only feel physically better — they feel more confident, motivated, and connected to their community.
Community at the Heart
At its core, Burnie Brae is about connection. Whether it’s a coffee at the café after an exercise class, a chat with friendly staff, or taking part in one of the many social programs at the centre, the sense of belonging is unmistakable.
It’s this combination of expert care and genuine community spirit that keeps locals coming back year after year.
Your Health, Your Way
If you’ve been thinking about improving your fitness, addressing a health concern, or simply looking for a supportive place to start, Burnie Brae’s Allied Health and Exercise Clinic is the perfect option.
Their personalised, respectful approach ensures you get the right care, at the right time, from people who truly understand your needs.
