Frequently Asked Questions.
Do I need a referral to be treated?
In short, No. We are a primary contact practitioners and therefore you don’t have to have your doctor to refer you to be treated. In most instances, seeing a physiotherapist before your doctor can get you back On Form faster!
You will need a referral for treatment if your injury is being paid for by another party. This includes all WorkCover, Motor Vehicle Accident, Income Protection or Medicare. We are unable to bill third party payers without this information.
If you have seen a specialist or recently had surgery, then it is certainly most helpful if you can bring the most up to date correspondence from your doctor. This provides us with the right information as to how to guide your recovery whilst your surgery repair is still healing. We pride ourselves on having great collaborative working relationships with most of Perth’s top specialists and try to liaise with them to provide you the best level of care.
