Private health insurance rebates
Almost all private health insurance funds offer rebates for Exercise Physiology, Dietitian and Physiotherapy services. It is advised to contact your fund to determine your level of cover. All of our clinics have HICAPS facilities, enabling on the spot claiming of your private health insurance.
Work health and return-to-work
We are a recognised Return-To-Work SA provider, and deliver a comprehensive range of services for injury management and physical rehabilitation. If you require a physical conditioning program to successfully return to work, a referral from your GP or Physiotherapist can initiate the process.
There is an abundance of research to support the benefits of early return to work of injured workers. We use an early intervention approach to injury management and occupational rehabilitation, based on a sports injury model.
Far from being an end goal in itself, there’s sufficient evidence to suggest that work is actually an important part of the rehabilitative process after injury or illness.
Strength and conditioning
Our Accredited Exercise Physiologist can deliver individual or group personal training sessions for people looking to improve their overall fitness or increase their performance in a sport or activity.

Medicare is a publicly funded universal health care system in Australia. Operated by the Department of Human Services, Medicare is the primary funder of health care in Australia, funding primary health care for Australian citizens and permanent residents including Norfolk Island. Residents are entitled to subsidised treatment from medical practitioners, eligible midwives, nurse practitioners and allied health professionals who have been issued a Medicare provider number, and can also obtain free treatment in public hospitals. The plan was introduced in 1975 by the Whitlam Government as Medibank, and was limited to paying customers only in 1976 by the Fraser Government. Hawke reintroduced universal health care in 1984 as Medicare. Since 1999, the public health plan has been supplemented by a Private Health Insurance Rebate, where the government funds up to 30% of any private health insurance premium covering people eligible for Medicare. Including these rebates, Medicare is the major component of the total Commonwealth health budget, taking up about 43% of the total. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(Australia) Read Less

Our physiotherapists work with you in the early phase of injury management. Their initial focus is to diagnose your problem or injury based on detailed musculoskeletal examination, relevant history and available scans, reports and medical opinions. The Physio’s implement a treatment plan that helps to reduce or manage symptoms and resume daily activities at the earliest opportunity, regardless of whether this is going for a walk with the dog, playing with the kids, running for fitness or returning to your sport. It is at this ‘functional’ or ‘performance’ phase of rehabilitation that our exercise physiologists have input to your program. They work with the Physiotherapists to develop tailored exercise programs with a component of strength and conditioning, in order to optimise recovery and prevent recurrence. The exercise physiologists also perform pre-exercise screening focused on cardiovascular risk factors.
