Your appointment, explained
What is private physiotherapy?
As a private patient, you book your appointment and pay the consultation fee directly. If your private health policy includes eligible physiotherapy Extras, your insurer may contribute towards the cost.
You can attend without private health insurance or a Medicare care plan. Your physiotherapist will assess your concerns, explain the findings and discuss a treatment plan suited to your needs and goals.
Before your visit
Four things to check
Choose your appointment
Book online or contact our team for help choosing the appropriate appointment type and clinic.
Review the current fee
Fees vary with the appointment type and practitioner. Check the current Fees page, including any applicable surcharges and additional costs.
Check any insurance benefit
Ask your fund whether your policy covers this physiotherapy service, whether waiting periods apply and how much of your benefit limit remains.
Bring what you need
Bring relevant referrals or reports, your health-fund membership details if you plan to claim, and any questions about treatment or payment.
Payment and claiming
With or without private health cover
Paying privately
You can pay for your consultation by cash or card. Private health insurance is optional. Please check the current Fees page for consultation charges and payment-related surcharges.
Using eligible Extras cover
HICAPS is available for eligible on-the-spot claims. Claiming depends on your insurer, policy, service and system availability. Any amount not covered by an accepted benefit remains payable by you.
Your insurer determines your benefit. Check your cover directly with your fund before treatment, especially if you expect a particular rebate or out-of-pocket amount.
Plan ahead
What is an out-of-pocket gap?
The gap is the difference between the consultation fee and any eligible benefit paid by your health fund. The amount can vary between policies, services and appointments.
Our team can explain clinic fees and payment options. Your insurer can confirm your current cover, benefit limits and eligibility. Please check both before your appointment if cost is a concern.
Personalised physiotherapy
Care shaped around your goals
Your appointment starts with listening to your concerns and assessing relevant movement and function. We explain suitable options and agree on a plan with you. Treatment may include education, exercise rehabilitation and appropriate hands-on care.
The number and timing of follow-up visits depend on your needs and response to care, and are reviewed with you.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral?
Generally, no. You can book a standard private physiotherapy appointment directly. Bring any relevant referrals or reports you already have. Other funding arrangements may have their own requirements.
Can I attend without private health insurance?
Yes. You can book as a private patient and pay the consultation fee yourself. Check our current Fees page before booking.
Will my health fund cover the full fee?
This depends on your policy, the service, any waiting periods and your available benefit limits. An out-of-pocket gap may apply. Confirm your individual entitlement with your insurer before treatment.
Can I claim at the clinic?
HICAPS is available for eligible claims where your fund and service are supported. Bring your health-fund membership details. If on-the-spot claiming is unavailable, ask reception about payment and the documentation you may need to claim directly with your fund.
