The physiotherapy clinics are located in Hobart, Tasmania, while the optometrist includes two stores in Northern Queensland.

The newly purchased businesses are expected to contribute a revenue of $3.95 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $640,000.

“We have a proven management team and a clinician and patient first culture and are excited to have these businesses joining our growing allied health network.”

Since listing on the ASX in September 2018, Healthia has grown its portfolio of allied health businesses from 104 to 217. This marks a 109 per cent growth and the company will continue adding value to its portfolio of assets.

On market close, Healthia was down 6.25 per cent, trading at $1.80 per share.
