Co-founder Peter Kelly was a highly regarded electrician at the Port Kembla Steelworks for many years. After lunch one day, Peter suffered a medical episode and was rushed to the hospital. Seven days later, he was discharged from the neurological ward at Wollongong Hospital with a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. After several months off work, Peter returned to work in his previous capacity.

Years after the initial diagnosis, Peter’s condition deteriorated, resulting in him being unable to work in heavy industry. Peter was determined to regain as much of his life as possible. He struggled not only with his condition but also with navigating the NDIS and healthcare sector. Eventually, through perseverance and support from family and friends, Peter received physiotherapy from a remarkable physiotherapist Jeremiah Lee. 

Peter was impressed with Jeremiah’s knowledge and his strong commitment to understanding how Peter’s condition affected his daily life. Peter’s other support workers often told him how impressed they were that he was so committed to his rehabilitation. They explained that many of their other clients regularly cancelled appointments as they couldn’t be bothered to attend. This concerned Peter, who had experienced the benefits of quality rehabilitation first-hand. When Peter asked Jeremiah if this was often the case, Jeremiah explained that, unfortunately, it was. From that conversation, Peter knew what his next calling in life should be. Start a rehabilitation centre that people would want to attend. And who better to partner with than his previous physiotherapist Jeremiah Lee, the man who helped get his life back on track.
