No, you do not need a referral to see a Physiotherapist privately. You can book an appointment directly with us. However, if you plan to claim through insurance, some providers may require a referral. Please contact us to ask about your specific cirsumstances.

What conditions can Physiotherapy help with?

Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal injuries (e.g. sprains, strains, and back pain)

What should I expect during my first appointment?

During your first appointment, the Physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment, including taking your medical history and discussing your symptoms and goals. They will then perform a physical examination to assess your movement, strength, and any areas of pain or discomfort. Based on this assessment, they will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example, if you are being treated for a knee or hip issue, shorts are recommended.

Can I claim Physiotherapy on my health insurance?

Yes, most private health insurance plans cover physiotherapy. However, coverage varies, so it’s best to check with your heath insurer regarding the specifics of your policy. We can provide receipts for you to submit for reimbursement.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require at least 12 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments. Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee.

Yes, we accept all insurance claims. We require paperwork with the following information: Insurer, case manager, and claim number.

Care Plans (i.e. medicare visits) require a referral from your GP. This allows a medicare rebate for each of those appointments, which covers a significant portion of your appointment.
