Your WorkCover claim number and insurer details, employer information, certificate of capacity where applicable, any relevant referrals, medical reports or supporting documents, and confirmation of claim acceptance and treatment approval, where required.

Do you talk to my doctor and insurer?

Where appropriate, yes. We communicate with your treating doctor, insurer and other members of your rehabilitation team.

Do I need a referral?

Not for a private appointment. You only need one to claim a Medicare rebate.

Can I claim through private health insurance?

Yes. Physiotherapy is claimable on most extras policies, depending on your cover, and you can claim on the spot with HICAPS.

Can I claim a Medicare rebate?

Yes, with a valid referral from your GP under a Chronic Condition Management Plan. We process the rebate on the spot. Appointments aren’t bulk billed, so there is a gap to pay.

Do you see workers compensation and NDIS clients?

Will my insurer pay for my appointments?

Where your claim has been accepted and treatment is approved, we bill your insurer directly. If your claim is pending or treatment has not been approved yet, contact us before your appointment to discuss payment arrangements.
