  • To see a Physiotherapist as a private patient, no referral is needed. A Physiotherapist is considered a ‘primary’ practitioner, meaning that we can be your first point of call for treatment of an injury or condition. If you have been referred to us from another Health Professional, please bring this referral to your first appointment.

    If you are attending as a Workcover or Third-Party patient, you will need to bring a referral from your doctor.
