FAQs

Physiotherapists are first contact practitioners in Australia. This means that private patients DO NOT need a referral to see our physiotherapists. However, those under Department of Veterans Affairs, Medicare (EPC/Care Plans) and Return to Work SA (Workcover) or Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Claims DO need a referral from their general practitioner or specialist.

The gap payment is individual to your policy depending on your level of cover and health fund. If you would like to learn more about how much you can expect to receive as a rebate, you can either contact your health fund or we can do a quote on our HICAPS terminal.
