Medicare covers Physiotherapy only when a patient has received a multidisciplinary Allied Health Care Plan from a General Practitioner. This Care Plan will allow the patient up to 5 visits per year with a rebate of $58 per consultation.
We do not bulk bill. We accept the Allied Health/Medicare referral from your GP and charge a gap fee.
We understand that your time is valuable but should you wish to cancel your appointment, we ask that you give us 24 hours notice so we can offer patients on our waiting list the opportunity to book.
Your healthcare is our main priority and we believe our fees and services are structured to ensure that our patients can be treated with peace of mind.

Patients experiencing financial hardship are encouraged to talk to their treating physiotherapist or practice manager for payment and treatment options, to ensure they receive the care they need and deserve at Body Sense Physiotherapy.
Most of our initial consultations are 1 hour in duration but this can be changed to 45min upon request.
