WorkCover/NIISQ: A referral from your treating doctor or case manager is required. Please contact us with your claim number before booking.
Cancellation Policy
We kindly ask for 48 hours notice for cancellations or appointment changes. This allows us to offer the time to another client who may be waiting.
Late cancellations (less than 48 hours notice) or missed appointments without notice may incur a cancellation fee. We understand unexpected circumstances arise — please contact us as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.
Payment
Payment is required at the time of your appointment. We accept EFTPOS, credit card, and bank transfer. Medicare rebates are processed on the day via HICAPS (where available) or can be claimed via the Medicare app or myGov.
