Medicare Australia provides a subsidy for up to 5 sessions of physiotherapy consultations for people who meet specific criteria relating to chronic conditions i.e. EPC scheme and chronic pain over 6 months. You must have a referral from a doctor to be eligible for these services. If you feel that you may be eligible for these services, please discuss this matter with your doctor. Medicare Australia does not cover the full cost physiotherapy and will incur a GAP fee of $20 per initial session and $10 for follow up sessions.
