Can my Physiotherapist recommend a DEXA scan?

No. You do not need a GP referral to book a Physiotherapy appointment at WLC Medical.

We are also happy to accept referrals from GPs, specialists and other healthcare providers. If you are attending under an eligible Medicare-funded care plan, Workers’ Compensation, DVA or another funded arrangement, additional referral or approval requirements may apply.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and, where possible, allows your physiotherapist to access the area being assessed.

For example, shorts or loose-fitting pants may be helpful when assessing the hip, knee or lower leg.

If you are unsure what to wear, comfortable everyday clothing is fine.

Your initial Physiotherapy consultation is 60 minutes. This gives your physiotherapist time to discuss your concerns and health history, assess your movement and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Follow-up appointments are available as either 30-minute or 60-minute consultations, depending on your individual needs, treatment goals and the complexity of your condition.

Our Physiotherapy appointment fees are:

Initial Consultation – 60 minutes: $185
Follow-up Consultation – 30 minutes: $135
Extended Follow-up Consultation – 60 minutes: $185

A 10% discount is available for children under 18, students and seniors, and a 25% discount is available for Health Care Card holders and pensioners.

Medicare and private health insurance rebates may be available depending on your eligibility, referral and level of cover. Our administration team may also be able to provide an estimated quote; however, we recommend confirming your rebate directly with your private health insurer.

Yes. Our physiotherapists work with people of different ages, activity levels and abilities.

This may include people experiencing general aches and pains, recovering from sporting or workplace injuries, preparing for or recovering from surgery, managing persistent pain or mobility concerns, returning to exercise, or requiring NDIS or Workers’ Compensation support.

Your physiotherapist will tailor your assessment and treatment plan to your individual needs and goals.

If you have any results from previous blood tests or diagnostic imaging (X-ray/MRI, etc) that you think may be relevant, please bring them in.

Sometimes we can access these results online, with your permission.

A medication list is also helpful if you already have one, otherwise this can be requested from your regular GP.
