Physiotherapists are trained as first point of contact practitioners. If you wish to attend physiotherapy, a referral is not needed if you will be paying as a private customer. If your physiotherapist determines that further investigation is necessary we can refer you back to your GP with a letter indicating our findings and recommendations. You will however need a referral if you wish to attend physiotherapy as a patient covered under Work Cover NSW, Compulsory Third Party Claims (Motor vehicle accidents), Department of Veterans Affairs, and Medicare EPC Plan.
