Bulk-Billed Physiotherapy

As part of the federal government’s chronic disease management program, you may be entitled to up to 5 Medicare funded allied health sessions per calendar year. These Medicare subsidised sessions can be used for physiotherapy as indicated by your GP. To find out if you qualify, discuss a team care agreement (formerly enhance primary care [EPC] agreement) with your GP. Once your referral is issued, contact us to book with Katharine for your Medicare funded physiotherapy sessions with a small co-payment of $10 per session. Note: Medicare rebates are available if you would prefer to see one of our other physiotherapists however the full fee is payable. We can process a claim on your behalf in the clinic to save you a trip to Medicare or lodging a claim through your my.gov account and the benefit will be returned to your debit card.

In accordance with the Department of Veteran Affairs White and Gold card programs, you can receive your physiotherapy covered under your referral without any gap charges. Simply mention your DVA white or gold at the time of booking with either Katharine and bring a copy with you to your consultation. Note: whether or not your consultation will be covered under your DVA white or gold card will depend on the nature of the condition and your referral. If you are unsure whether you are covered, please consult your referring doctor.
