No, a referral is not required to book an appointment with a physiotherapist. However, if you’re claiming through Medicare, Workers Compensation, or DVA, a GP referral may be necessary. Our team can help you determine what’s needed for your situation.
Your first session includes a thorough assessment of your condition, movement patterns, and medical history. From there, your physio will create a tailored treatment plan which may include manual therapy, exercises, taping, or education. Follow-up sessions monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Results vary depending on the severity and nature of your condition. Some people feel improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require a longer-term approach. Your physiotherapist will give you a clear timeline and set achievable goals.
Yes, most private health funds offer rebates for physiotherapy if you have extras cover. We offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming so you only pay the gap. It’s best to check with your provider to understand your specific level of cover.
