How do I get Medicare-subsidised physiotherapy?

You need a GP Management Plan and a referral for allied health under a Team Care Arrangement. That gives a limited number of subsidised sessions per calendar year, and the rebate is usually less than the full fee.

What does a physio session cost?

Expect an initial consultation to cost more than a follow-up because it includes assessment. Ask for the fee schedule and the gap you will pay after your health fund rebate, not just the headline price.

Do I need a referral to see a physio privately?

No. You can book directly. A referral only matters for Medicare care plans, workers compensation and third-party claims.

How many sessions will I need?

A good physiotherapist sets out a plan with a review point - what should improve by when, and what happens if it does not. An open-ended course with no review point is a reason to ask questions.
