You’ll need a referral and CDM Plan from your GP outlining your chronic condition. Once approved, you can access up to five Medicare-subsidised sessions per year. At Shak The Physio, we can coordinate directly with your GP to ensure smooth setup and reporting.
If you hold a Gold Card (covering all clinically necessary treatment) or a White Card (for specific service-related conditions), you may be eligible. You’ll need a referral from your GP for physiotherapy. Once approved, your treatments are fully funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
You cannot claim both for the same service. However, once your Medicare sessions are used, you may choose to continue physiotherapy using private health cover if eligible. Our team can help you understand your options and develop a sustainable care plan.
Please bring your GP referral, Medicare or DVA card, and any relevant medical documentation or imaging. This helps us deliver the most effective treatment plan and ensures compliance with funding requirements. We’ll also take the time to understand your goals and any limitations.
