Frequently Asked Questions
Are Health Fund rebates available?
Warners Bay Physiotherapy is equipped with the HICAPS system which will, in most cases, allow you to instantaneously receive your health insurance rebate. The gap payment can either be paid via EFTPOS, credit card or cash.
Do I need a referral?
No, you do not need a referral to see a Physiotherapist if you are a private client. A doctor’s referral is required if another party is responsible for your account, such as WorkCover, EPC or DVA.

What is Physiotherapy and what will happen at my first appointment?
Physiotherapy aims to restore proper functioning to the body or, in the case of permanent disease or injury, to reduce the impact of any dysfunction. During your first appointment the physiotherapist will:
- ask you many questions to gain understanding of how your injury developed and how easily it may be irritated, and
- assess your injury or problem and work with you to develop an individualised treatment plan.
- It is important to know that the physiotherapist may ask you to take off some of your clothes so they can see the area of your body where you are having a problem. You may want to wear gym clothes that allow different parts of your body to be seen without taking off your clothes.
- The physiotherapist may use a range of hands on, electrotherapy (e.g. Shockwave), exercise or Dry Needling to aid in your treatment.
