We can help every body.
You only have one of them – a body that is – and it has to last your whole life. It might sound cliche, but it is a much more important reason to treat it well than trying to fit into a bikini or to show off those muscles on the beach. You want to use your body and get the most out of it to life a full and rewarding life.
There are many ways that our Physiotherapists and Accredited Exercise Physiologists can help you improve your body’s performance, whether you are an athlete, a new mum, or of any age wanting help with specific injuries or conditions.

How can you access our services?
You don’t need a referral to see our physiotherapists. If you have private health we can swipe your health fund card through our HICAPS machine and you only need pay a gap.
We are a HCF More for Muscles provider for physiotherapy. You may have a ‘no gap’ initial consultation if you meet the HCF eligibility criteria.
Don’t forget to bring any X-Rays or Scans to your initial visit and arrive a few minutes early for your appointment so that we can complete the necessary paperwork.
In some instances, you may be referred under a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) by your GP. To qualify you need to meet strict guidelines, and your eligibility is strictly determined by your doctor. If you attend our practice under a TCA you may be eligible for bulk-billing for up to five visits per calendar year, if these visits are available under Medicare. Please let us know at the time of your booking if you have been referred under this scheme.
You will need to provide us with your Medicare card details so that we can check your eligibility before your appointment. Please have these handy at the time of your booking.

We accept referrals under DVA for both physiotherapy and exercise physiology. To be treated under DVA you must have an appropriate referral from your GP which includes the details of your DVA card, and the condition for which you are being treated. This can be on a D904 referral or a letter from the GP which has these elements included.

It is important to begin treatment as soon as practicable after an accident. While we know this isn’t always possible due to financial constraints, early treatment can help prevent your injury from becoming chronic and debilitating.
If you have been recently injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) you may be able to access therapy through your CTP insurer. For CTP claims we need a referral from a GP outlining all of your injuries. We also need approval from your CTP insurer to treat you before we can bill them directly.
If you need treatment and these steps are not in place, you can still begin your treatment. In this case you will need to pay your accounts privately and submit them to your insurer for reimbursement if eligible.
