Their knowledge is shared through internally run education and mentoring programs so you can be confident that the treatment you receive from any Body Logic Physiotherapist is at the forefront of physiotherapy treatment.

Our team work together in a collaborative approach to client care. So, if your therapist is away on leave, you can be seen by any member of our physiotherapy team and know that your management will continue as normal. We recommend that if you are in pain, do not wait for your therapist to return from leave. It is important to call us and organise treatment for as soon as possible.

We offer and recommend our new patients have a one hour initial appointment so we can hear your story, conduct a thorough examination, explain to you what is going on, treat you, and set up a management plan. We want to empower you towards recovery in a way that is easy for you to understand.

If your condition has been a complex and long-term injury we strongly recommend a 1 hour initial appointment.

If you feel that your condition is relatively new, or perhaps a simple sprain, then a 30 minute initial appointment may be more suitable for you. Please speak to our reception team for guidance.

Yes, we have HiCaps facilities available for your convenience. HiCaps accepts all major health funds. Please bring your health fund card on the day of your appointment in order for us to process your refund.

How much will I receive back from my health provider?

All health funds rebate differently and we would recommend discussing benefits with your fund. Our reception team can supply the Item Numbers relating to the service to assist you with these discussions.

Are you a HBF or Bupa preferred provider?

Body Logic Physiotherapy is a private clinic and we work collaboratively with all health funds, therefore in fairness to all of our clients we have opted not to become a preferred provider for individual funds.

Does Medicare Cover Physiotherapy?

Unfortunately Medicare does not cover physiotherapy. The only exception relates to referrals from a General Practitioner for a multidisciplinary Care Plan.

We charge higher fees than many other physiotherapy practices because we spend more time with you.

While many physiotherapy practices offer between 20-40 min appointments, we offer 1 hour for your first appointment, and 30 minutes for follow-up visits.

At Body Logic Physiotherapy we know that hearing your story, conducting a thorough examination, taking the time to educate you, and setting up a simple to follow home plan at your first visit, saves you time and money in the long run. Based on time for service we are actually cheaper than many practices.

Fees are payable at the time of consultation. We accept cash, cheque, EFTPOS, Mastercard, or Visa. Alternatively we can accept credit card payments over the phone.

Please speak to our reception team regarding claims relating to Workers’ Compensation, Motor Vehicle Accidents and Veterans’ Affairs.

Yes we do accept care plans from general practitioners. You will be required to pay the full amount for your appointment on the day. We will process your Medicare claim, and your rebate will be credited into a cheque or savings account within 24 hours.
