No. Exercise Physiologists are first-contact, primary healthcare professionals in Australia and that means that you can book an appointment without seeing your doctor first. Many of our patients are referred from GPs and specialists but many choose to see us themselves.
Exercise physiology is covered by private health funds as part of “extras” cover and we have HICAPS facilities to charge your health fund on the day of the appointment. The amount that your private health fund pays depends on your policy.
Exercise physiology is generally not covered by Medicare but you can get partial funding from Medicare through a Chronic Disease Management Plan if your GP refers you with one of these.
