Our Physiotherapists at Queensland Physio Group have an extensive array of expertise and education.
A Physiotherapist can assess, diagnose, treat, and work to prevent disease and dysfunctions of the Musculoskeletal System. Physio treatment can reduce pain and stiffness; improve joint and muscle movement; provide injury prevention and speed up recovery from injury. A large part of a Physiotherapists job is to help you understand what is happening and educate you as to what you can do to help improve your physical health and work with you on physical and health goals.
​
Physiotherapists often maintain a holistic approach to healthcare by working in conjunction with other professionals such as general practitioners and other allied health therapists; however, you do not require a referral to see a Physio.

How long is my Physiotherapy appointment?Allow at least one hour for your initial physiotherapy session. Subsequent treatments are usually 30 to 60 minutes in duration. Your physiotherapist will inform you if additional or less time is required. Complex or multiple regions may require a more extended consultation. Our receptionist will happily book an appropriate appointment for your clinical needs.
-
Do I need a referral to consult a Physiotherapist?A doctor's referral is not required to see a physiotherapist in private practice unless you claim a work injury (e.g. Workcover) or other insurance claims. Department of Veterans Affairs patients will require a doctor referral. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident or plan for your treatment to be funded by an insurance company, it is good practice to consult your GP for a referral.

What about Private Health Insurance?A proportion of treatment costs is rebatable under all higher table private health insurance schemes. The private health insurance rebates do vary considerably depending upon your specific coverage.

What is HICAPS?Queensland Physio Group Victoria Point links to the HICAPS electronic health fund system, so you can instantly claim your rebate at the time of treatment. You'll need to present your health insurance card to our receptionist.
