Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about physiotherapy costs and funding in Bundoora.
How do I get bulk-billed physiotherapy in Bundoora?
See your GP and ask for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. If you have a chronic condition (such as back pain, arthritis, or diabetes) lasting 6 months or more, you may qualify for up to 5 bulk-billed allied health sessions per calendar year — including physiotherapy. Better Physiotherapy Bundoora bulk bills all Medicare EPC sessions.
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No referral is needed for general physiotherapy. You can book directly. However, a GP referral (CDM plan) is required to access Medicare bulk-billing. For WorkCover, TAC, and DVA, documentation from a GP or specialist is required.
Does private health insurance cover physiotherapy?
Yes — if your policy includes physiotherapy under Extras cover. We process your rebate instantly at the clinic via HICAPS. You pay only the gap. Most major funds cover physiotherapy including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, AHM, and CBHS.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition. Acute injuries often resolve in 3–6 sessions. Chronic conditions, post-surgical rehab, and NDIS programs may involve 8–20+ sessions. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate at your first appointment.
