Do I need a referral for Physiotherapy from my doctor?
If you are covered under the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA), we require a current referral from your doctor for Physiotherapy services. DVA referrals are valid for 12 months. There is no gap when claiming through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
If you are paying privately, you DO NOT need a doctor’s referral to seek physiotherapy assessment and treatment.
How much will it cost?
- Private patients are eligible to claim a rebate from their Private Health Fund for services received by a Physiotherapist.
- Patients covered under Department of Veterans Affairs; Workers Compensation; or approved for treatment from a Motor Vehicle accident will not be required to pay any gap for treatment received.
- Patients covered under an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC) will receive their Medicare rebate onsite and only be required to pay the gap for their treatment..
