Our highly qualified physiotherapists are able to provide all aspects of musculo-skeletal and neurological physiotherapy. We understand the effects of injuries on the ageing person. Please call for the availability of a Physiotherapist in your area.

We accept Medicare Enhanced Primary Care Plans (EPC) and DVA D904 referrals for all gold card holders. We do not charge any out of pocket expense for DVA referrals. We charge a $15 co-payment for EPC referrals (We waive this co-payment if the patients has financial hardship). Private patients who require home based physiotherapy treatment are charged at a flat rate of $87 per session. All of our appointments are approximately 30 minutes.
