Private Funding
Private funding gives you the most flexible way to access our services — no referral required, no waiting for funding approval, and no session limits. Simply book directly with our team and pay at the time of your appointment. If you have private health insurance, we process on-the-spot claims through HICAPS so you receive your rebate immediately.
Why Choose Private
No Referral Needed
Paying privately means you can access any of our services immediately — without needing a GP referral, government approval, or plan management. It’s ideal if you want to get started quickly, need services that aren’t covered by your current funding, or simply prefer the flexibility of direct access.
We’ll complete a thorough assessment at your first appointment and develop a personalised therapy plan based on your goals. There are no session limits — you can attend as many or as few sessions as you need.
Private Funding Is Great For:
- Acute pain or injury
- Post-surgery recovery
- Improving mobility, strength, or fitness
- Managing chronic conditions
- Proactive injury prevention
- Top-up sessions beyond your funded allocation
- Anyone who wants direct, flexible access to care

Services Available Privately
All of our services are available under private funding, with no restrictions on session numbers or service types.
Physiotherapy
Assessment and treatment for pain, injury, post-surgical recovery, and movement issues. Our physios provide hands-on manual therapy, tailored exercise programs, and evidence-based rehabilitation to get you moving and feeling better.
Exercise Physiology
Personalised exercise programs for rehabilitation, chronic disease management, weight management, and general fitness. Our EPs create structured programs that work toward your specific goals — whether that’s getting back to sport, managing a health condition, or building long-term strength.
Occupational Therapy
Home assessments, assistive technology prescriptions, functional capacity evaluations, and daily living support. Private OT is a great option for home modification assessments, equipment trials, or functional evaluations where government funding isn’t available or has been exhausted.
Getting Started
How Private Funding Works
Getting started with private funding is the simplest pathway we offer. Here’s how it works.
01
Book Directly
No referral needed. Contact us by phone or email, tell us what you need help with, and we’ll schedule your first appointment at a time that suits you.
02
Assessment & Plan
At your first session, your clinician will conduct a thorough assessment, discuss your goals, and develop a personalised therapy plan. We’ll also explain what to expect from ongoing sessions and give you a clear picture of costs.
03
Claim on the Spot
Pay at the time of your appointment. If you have private health insurance with extras cover, we process your claim instantly through HICAPS — you’ll only pay the gap (the difference between our fee and your rebate).
Common Questions
Private Funding FAQs
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with our team without a referral from a GP or anyone else. This is one of the main advantages of private funding — you can access care as soon as you need it, without waiting for approvals or paperwork.
Can I claim on my private health insurance?
Yes. If you have private health insurance with extras cover that includes physiotherapy, exercise physiology, or occupational therapy, you can claim a rebate. We process claims on the spot via HICAPS for most major health funds, so you only pay the gap at the time of your visit.
What does a session cost?
Fees vary depending on the service type and session length. Please contact us for our current fee schedule. We’re transparent about costs and will always let you know what to expect before your appointment. Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your health fund and level of extras cover.
Can I use private funding alongside other funding?
Yes. Many of our clients use private funding to supplement their government-funded sessions. For example, if you’ve used your 5 Medicare sessions for the year, you can continue seeing us privately. Or if your NDIS plan doesn’t cover a particular service, private funding can fill the gap.
