No, in Australia Physiotherapists are first contact practitioners, meaning no referral is required.

At Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio we accept Private Health Insurance with extras cover. We have a hicaps machine so you can claim directly after your appointment. The rebate will vary depending on which health fund you are with and your level of cover.

Chronic Disease Management plans + EPC’s will provide up to 5 subsidised allied health sessions per year. Eligible patients are those deemed to have a chronic medical condition. Please speak to your general practitioner to discuss this further and determine if you are eligible. Please note there visits are not ‘FREE’, medicare will provide a rebate of $58.30 for each appointment.

The amount rebated by medicare for someone on a GP management plan, is significantly less than the normal charge of allied health professional sessions.

Our initial appointments are longer than standard physiotherapy appointments so we can provide a thorough assessment and treatment for our patients.

For more information on rebate amount please see Appointment Fees

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your initial appointment to allow time to complete your new patient forms and pelvic floor questionnaire (if you haven’t been able to do this online).

Please bring with you any doctors or specialist referrals that you might have.

Keeping in mind some women experience bloating, stomach cramping and pain, thus it is a very personal decision. We can however complete your pelvic floor assessment as an alternative using the real time ultrasound machine to make it more comfortable.
