Question 1

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?

Accepted Answer

No. Physiotherapists are first-contact primary practitioners in Australia, so you can book directly with us. If you have a GP-arranged EPC or Chronic Disease Management (CDM) referral, we're happy to accept it.

Question 2

Does private health insurance cover physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Most funds pay a rebate on physiotherapy under extras cover. How much you get back depends on your fund and your level of cover, so it is worth checking with them before your appointment.

Question 3

Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under a GP-arranged Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan you can have up to five subsidised allied health visits per calendar year, and we bulk bill those visits — so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. Speak to your GP to see if you're eligible.

Question 4

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Bring any relevant scans or referrals, and comfortable clothing you can move and exercise in. For a sports injury, the footwear or equipment you use can be helpful too.

Question 5

What are your fees for private patients?

Accepted Answer

Physiotherapy treatment for private patients will be charged at a private fee. Please call us on (03) 9111 5514 for further information regarding our private consultation fees.

Question 6

Do you really do home visits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver clinic-quality physiotherapy in your home across Geelong and the surrounding suburbs — ideal for aged care, post-surgical recovery and anyone with limited mobility.
