Frequently asked questions

You do not require a Doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist unless you will be claiming through Veterans Affairs, Workcover, Medicare EPC program or CTP.

This depends on your level of cover with your chosen private health fund. You will need to talk to your health fund to answer this question.

This depends on how complex the injury is. Most physiotherapy consultations run for 30 minutes, however for more complex consultations there are 45 minute and 60 minute billing options.

Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport and health and fitness.

We appreciate payment at the time of your appointment by EFTPOS. We accept Mastercard and Visa. If you have private health insurance, our clinic uses HICAPS which will allow you to claim the rebate on the spot through your fund. In most cases, there will be a gap fee which can be settled at the time of service.

Workcover and CTP claims can be billed directly to the insurer where there is a current claim number.

We recommend no tight clothes/jeans as these restrict our ability to assess you fully.

Please wear clothes you are comfortable in and can easily move in.

Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history. Please bring any x-rays/scans/MRI reports, referrals relating to your condition, and a list of current medications. If you have private health insurance, you will need your health insurance card. Please bring your Medicare card if you are claiming using a GP care plan.
