A physical assessment is then conducted to confirm the injury diagnosis. Once a diagnosis has been made, time is taken to explain the injury and develop a clear management plan combining hands on treatment and exercise to fix your problem.

  • What if I have a GP Management Plan?
    We work closely with many local GP's and specialists to achieve your goals and improve your health. Some conditions can be treated under a GP management plan. The full fee is required to be paid up front and a rebate will then be refunded into your account. Talk to your GP about your eligibility.
  • I have injured myself at work. What should I do?
    The first thing you should do if you have hurt yourself at work is to report it to your employer and make an appointment with your GP. If your GP thinks your injury requires physiotherapy or exercise physiology they will refer you to one. You will then be provided with a claim number which is required for funding. This process can sometimes take time, we can definitely assess and start the treatment in the meantime but this will require upfront payment which can then be reimbursed from your insurer.
