Funded clients

Are you funded by TAC, WorkCover, NDIS or Medicare?

WorkCover

WorkCover is insurance that your employer has in case you hurt yourself at work. This means that a reasonable and justified amount of treatment is covered by the insurance company.

Are there any out of pocket expenses for physiotherapy?

At Preston Physiotherapy we do not charge you a gap on your treatments during certain hours. There are NO out of pocket expenses. If you wish to be seen outside of these hours, we can still see you but there is a small gap fee.

TAC

What is a transport accident?

A transport accident is any accident that happens on our roads in Victoria. For example, a car accident, bicycle crash or a pedestrian incident.

NDIS

Some of our Physiotherapists provide services to clients under the NDIS. We are available to treat 6 days a week. We provide you with a service agreement at the first consult. Our initial consultation is 1 hour, and then you and the physio can agree on whether 1 hour or 30 minute sessions are appropriate going forward.

Who we can treat…

We currently service clients that are SELF managed. At the present time we do not do AGENCY or PLAN managed clients.

Accessibility

Please see our accessibility page to ensure that our clinic can meet all of your requirements. Any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact management via email at reception@prestonphysio.com.au and we will assist in any way that we can.

Medicare rebates

To access the Medicare rebates in Australia, you need a valid referral from your GP. Not everyone qualifies for these rebates, so we suggest discussing your eligibility with your GP. Once you have received your referral, we can apply the rebate to your appointments dated after the date of the referral.

Gap priced Medicare visits

If you wish to book your appointment at any time without delay, a GAP fee applies. These can be booked online, or call our friendly reception team to arrange an appointment. If you book these appointments online, they will be subject to payment on the day of service and you will receive the Medicare rebate back into the bank account that you have registered with Medicare, usually within 24 hours of your appointment.

Gap free Medicare visits

GAP Free Appointments are available with certain Physiotherapists, subject to availability, between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Friday. These appointments are not available to be booked online.
