Do I need a referral?
No referrals are needed to book an appointment as a private-paying patient. A referral from your GP is necessary for DVA and Chronic Disease Management (formerly Enhanced Primary Care) rebates. Please contact us or your GP for further information regarding these rebates.

Medicare has created a scheme where patients suffering from chronic conditions (chronic low back pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, asthma etc) are able to receive partial rebates of $55.10 for up to 5 x treatments of physiotherapy per calendar year. You need to discuss this with your local GP to determine eligibility. Be sure to have your doctors referral with you at time of appointment.
