Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a physio or OT?
No. You can book privately with no referral. If you are using Medicare (CDM), NDIS, DVA or an insurance claim, you will need a GP or specialist referral.
Where are you located?
We are at 3a/352 South Street, O'Connor WA 6163, with free parking and easy access from Fremantle, Melville and the wider southern suburbs.
Do you accept NDIS, Medicare and private health funds?
Yes. We accept all major health funds and welcome Medicare, NDIS, DVA, HACC and Workers' Compensation patients. A Medicare referral does not automatically mean sessions are bulk-billed, so we are upfront about any out-of-pocket fees.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your initial consultation is a full assessment: we take your history, examine the problem, give you an accurate diagnosis and build a personalised treatment plan, including whether small-group exercise rehab is right for you.
Can I join the exercise rehabilitation classes straight away?
Every class place follows a one-to-one physiotherapy assessment first, so your program is safe and tailored. Book your exercise rehabilitation assessment to get started.
