Private Health Physiotherapy Townsville

Physiotherapy benefits may be included in private health extras cover. Hospital cover alone is different from extras cover, so check the physiotherapy section of your policy rather than assuming every health policy includes it.

Benefits can vary between policies and may be subject to waiting periods, annual limits or combined limits with other services. Your insurer can confirm the amount available for your appointment and whether provider requirements apply.

Before your appointment, ask your insurer:

• Does my current extras policy include physiotherapy?
• Have I served the relevant waiting period?
• What rebate applies to an initial or follow-up appointment?
• How much of my annual limit remains?
• Are there provider restrictions or combined benefit limits?

Confirm cover separately for any particular service you are considering. Coverage for one type of appointment does not confirm cover for every treatment option.

The Australian Government’s private health waiting period guide explains how waiting periods work.

Contact our team about the appointment fee and how claiming works at the clinic. Your fund determines your rebate; any difference between the fee and the benefit is your out-of-pocket cost.

Bring your current membership details and ask whether anything else is needed for your appointment. If you have changed funds or cover, check the updated terms before attending. We can discuss appointment information, while your insurer confirms your policy benefits.

You can book a private physiotherapy appointment without a GP referral. Tell us about your symptoms, goals and the service you are interested in so we can discuss a suitable appointment.

Your physiotherapist assesses your needs and explains treatment options with you. These may include hands-on care, tailored exercise and practical advice. See our physiotherapy services or meet our team to learn more.

If private health cover is not available, you can still ask about a private patient appointment.
