No referral is needed to book physiotherapy at our Glenelg clinic. You can book directly online or by phone. A referral from your GP is only required if you want to access Medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which your GP arranges if you have a qualifying chronic condition. Private health insurance, Return to Work SA, DVA, CTP, and NDIS can all be accessed without a referral.

Our Glenelg physiotherapy team treats a broad range of musculoskeletal and movement conditions including sports injuries, back and neck pain, shoulder, knee, hip and ankle injuries, tendon conditions, headaches, pre and post-surgical rehabilitation, nerve pain, pregnancy-related pain, and chronic pain. If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is right for what you are experiencing, give us a call and we can help you decide.

Your initial appointment typically runs for 45 to 60 minutes. Your physiotherapist will complete a thorough assessment of your condition, review your health history, and discuss your goals. From this, they will develop a treatment plan and begin your care. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being assessed, and bring any relevant referrals, imaging, or medical history.

This varies depending on your condition, its severity, and your goals. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate at your initial appointment. Some acute conditions resolve in a few sessions, while more complex or long-standing issues may require a longer course of treatment. We will always be transparent about what to expect.

You may be eligible for Medicare rebates if your GP has referred you under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. This requires a chronic condition that has been present for six months or more, and your GP must set up the plan before your physiotherapy treatment begins. Please note we do not bulk bill. You will pay at the time of your appointment and receive the Medicare rebate back. Please call us to arrange your CDM appointment.

Yes. You can claim your private health extras at every appointment using our on-site HICAPS terminal. Please bring your health insurance card on the day. Please note that our SA clinics are not preferred providers for any health fund, which means our fees are not set or discounted by insurers. You will still receive your normal extras rebate and pay any applicable gap. Our fee structure reflects the quality, time, and expertise our practitioners bring to every appointment.
