Referrals
for physiotherapy
Usually, no referral is necessary. Under the Veterans’ Affairs
or Medicare
Plus schemes a referral letter from a GP is required.
Referrals by physiotherapists
Physiotherapists at our clinic are authorised to refer clients for
X-rays.
Certificates
Sick Leave
Physiotherapists are legally authorised to issue sick leave certificates
when the client is unfit for work due to an injury or condition for
which they
have consulted the physiotherapist.
Incapacity
For Worksafe clients, physiotherapists can only provide subsequent
certificates of incapacity after the initial certificate has been
completed by a GP.
Attendance
Physiotherapists can supply attendance certificates to certify that
a client has attended an appointment.
Fees
Payment is expected on the day of consultation.
EFTPOS and credit card facilities are available.
Private health care rebate is available for clients with relevant
extras cover
with our Hicaps facility on the day of consultation.
Concessional rates are available for Health Care card holders.
Please note: Cancellations
We request 24 hours notice for cancellation of appointments. This
allows
time for our office staff to reschedule “wait-listed”
clients and makes best
use of our physiotherapists’ time. If less than 24 hours notice
is given,
Albert Park Physiotherapy reserves the right to charge a cancellation
fee.
