FAQs

  1. Do I need a referral?

    No, you do not need a referral to see our physiotherapists. However, if you wish to use an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC), also known as a GP Management Plan (GPMP), you are required to bring this with you on the day of your initial appointment, or have your doctor fax it over prior to your appointment, so that we can process your medicare rebate for you on the day.

  2. How many sessions will I need?

    This depends on a number of factors including the nature of your presenting condition, and the underlying cause of your symptoms. It also depends on how adherent you are to the independent exercises and lifestyle modifications prescribed to you. We aim to conduct a thorough assessment on your initial consultation, followed by an outline of an expected timeline of recovery, including how many sessions you require.

  3. Do you offer Telehealth/virtual consultations?

    Yes, we offer Telehealth by means of Zoom, Webex or phone call. Our management approach may be modified as we are unable to provide hands-on examination or treatment in virtual cases however, instead, we can offer an observation assessment or talk you through a self-assessment. From there, we can provide management strategies through education, lifestyle modifications, exercises and self management strategies for pain relief. Please let us know at the time of booking if you require a Telehealth consultation.

  4. Do you accept NDIS funding?

    Yes, but only for self-managed clients. Unfortunately referrals for those managed by an agency (NDIA) cannot be accepted.
