About Additional Services
Physiotherapists are trained experts in movement and function who work closely with their patients, assisting them to overcome movement disorders, which may be present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or the result of aging.
Having physiotherapy with a trained physiotherapist can help you to recover from injury quicker, whilst educating you how to best manage the injury long-term and prevent re-injuring yourself. Reducing pain and stiffness, restoring movement and improving overall function are typically the primary concern for the physiotherapist, and typically some sort of home exercise prescription will be indicated to further assist recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you need a doctor’s referral to be seen by a physio?
A referral from your GP is optional. Dr’s referrals are only required if the following situations apply:
- You are a DVA card holder and you want to claim your treatment through DVA
- You would like to claim your costs through Medicare (Enhance Primary Care Plan – EPC)
- You are claiming your injury through Workcover etc. In this case you should have a claim number and a Worker’s Compensation Certificate
Do we take WorkCover patients?
Yes we do. We will require a current medical certificate along with a WorkCover claim number if it’s been processed. Please note if the WorkCover claim is not open and accepted, it is up to the individual to pay for the consult until it’s open. However, you can submit your receipt to WorkCover once it’s been approved to be reimbursed.
Who is eligible for a concessional discount and must they be sighted?
High school students, Full-time tertiary students (full-time university/TAFE) and retired pension card holders. Yes, concession cards must be sighted as the number is recorded in our system.
Do we except private health cards / process HICAP rebates at time of payment?
Yes we do. If you are entitled to a private health rebate and have your private health fund card with you at time of consult and payment, then we are able to process the HICAP rebate and then you pay the difference.
What happens if I forgot my private health fund card?
We are unable to manually type in your health fund card number to claim your rebate, therefore you will need to pay the account in full and take your receipt to your private health fund to be reimbursed.

Earworx
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Earwax Buildup
Excess earwax can cause:
-
Muffled or reduced hearing
-
A feeling of fullness in the ear
-
Ringing sounds (tinnitus)
-
Dizziness or imbalance
-
Increased risk of infection
Many people try to fix this with cotton buds — but that often pushes wax deeper, making the problem worse.
Professional ear cleaning is the safer, more effective solution.
