Fees & insurance
What are your prices? Do you take private health insurance?
All our prices are listed on our prices page. Yes, we take private health insurance.
Do you accept Medicare referrals (GPCCMP, CDM or EPC plans)?
Medicare supports physiotherapy services for patients with chronic and complex medical conditions through the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), commonly still called a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. As we are a private clinic, you pay the full consultation fee at the time of your consultation and receive a rebate of $63.40. Please email us your GP plan and referral before your initial session so you receive your rebate the same day.
How can I pay?
Credit/debit card or EFTPOS. Payment is due at the time of service, and you can claim on private health insurance on the spot.
Do you see DVA, WorkCover or NDIS patients?
Yes. We accept third party payments including patients on WorkCover, DVA and CTP. We will need a referral from your doctor and a Certificate of Capacity before your initial appointment. We accept privately paid NDIS clients too.
Policies
What is your cancellation / no-show policy?
We have a strict cancellation policy: 24 hours' notice for Physiotherapy appointments and 12 hours' notice for semi-private Clinical Pilates classes. Late cancellations and no-shows are invoiced the full treatment fee.
What if I'm running late?
Your session will end at the originally scheduled time and the full fee still applies. We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes early.
Clinical Pilates
Can I go straight into a class?
You'll need a 45-minute pre-class assessment first. We'll then recommend 1:1 sessions or a 4:1 semi-private class.
How do I book classes?
After your assessment, class packs and bookings are self-managed in the Pogozo app, which also shows the live timetable. Classes are pre-paid at booking.
Can I claim classes on private health?
Yes, an invoice is sent after each completed class so you can claim your rebate. Rebates can only be claimed once the class is completed.
