FAQs
How do I pay and what options are there?
An invoice will be sent to you via email. You can make the payment either by online bank transfer or by card. We also accept cheques.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to make an appointment?
No, you will not need a referral if you are a private paying client. Medicare cardholders may be eligible for an Enhanced Primary Care referral, however, this must be obtained by a GP referral. This can allow up to five physiotherapy visits per year. If you are currently residing in an aged-care facility, physiotherapy will be bulk billed. Outside aged care, clients are subject to an out-of-pocket fee. Please contact us to learn more about Medicare rebates and aged care fees.
Can I claim rebates with private health insurance?
Yes, you can. Rebates can be made for all of our services. However, as we are mobile, we do not carry a HICAPS machine so you will need to pay for each consultation in full. Once the payment has been made, a receipt will be issued to you. This receipt can be used to claim with your health insurance provider. You generally have three options when making a claim: travel to your health insurance provider’s local store, call the health insurance provider support line, or make a claim online where available.

How long are your consultations?
Initial Consultations take up to 45 minutes, while follow-up consultations take up to 30 minutes. You will receive our undivided attention for the full consultation as our sessions are conducted on a one-on-one basis.
What do I need to do before a consultation?
The main things we ask for prior to your personal consultation are:
- A suitable, clear area where we can place our treatment bed and/or have space to complete any exercise programs
- For you to read our Client Agreement form. This can either be emailed to you prior to your appointment or filled out while the physiotherapist is setting up
- For you to have any referral letters and medical imaging ready for your physiotherapist on arrival.
What is involved in an initial consultation?
The physiotherapist will first take a history to gather information about your condition. Following this, they may need to observe you performing basic movements to determine any abnormal movement patterns. Finally, the physiotherapist will conduct a thorough joint and muscular assessment before starting appropriate treatment based on the findings of the assessment.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please call 1300 122 884 to cancel/change any appointments you may have. We are aware that unexpected events come up and we try to be understanding of these situations when they occur.
Please note that the full physiotherapy consultation fee will be incurred for any cancellations within one hour of your scheduled appointment. If you are not home during your scheduled physiotherapy appointment you will also be charged the full consultation fee.
