Physiotherapy · Melbourne

Recovery, done properly.

Assessment-led physiotherapy in Melbourne. You leave your first session with a diagnosis in plain language, a written plan, and a timeframe — not a vague “come back next week”. In our rooms, or at your home.

How it works

Three sessions in, you shouldknow exactly where you stand.

Assessment

Your first session maps the problem — history, movement testing, and a working diagnosis explained in plain language.

Treatment plan

You get a written plan: what we'll do in the room, what you'll do at home, and the timeframe we're working to.

Progressive rehab

Treatment and load progress as you do. We retest against the plan, so you can see the change — not just feel it.

Your first visit

No surprises. Here’s exactlyhow the first one goes.

Before you arrive

Book online or call. Bring your health fund card, and a referral only if you have one — you don’t need one to see us.

The assessment

We take your history, test how you move, and find the mechanism behind the pain. You’ll understand what we found before you leave the room.

The plan

You get it in writing: what we’ll do here, what you’ll do at home, and what we’re aiming for.

Leaving

Claim your rebate on the spot through HICAPS. You pay the gap, and you know exactly when you’re back.

No referral needed

Physiotherapists are primary practitioners — book directly.

Mobile physiotherapy

Can’t get to us?We’ll come to you.

Some people recover better at home — after surgery, with mobility limits, or when getting to a clinic is the hardest part of the day. Mobile appointments run the same way as in-rooms: full assessment, plain-language diagnosis, a written plan.

Funding & programs

However it’s funded,the assessment is the same.

Most people arrive already holding a claim number, a plan or a level of cover. We work with all of them, and we handle the reporting that goes with each — so the admin is our job, not yours.

WorkCover

WorkCover claims accepted with a valid claim number.

We treat accepted WorkCover claims and handle the reporting and correspondence with your insurer and case manager, so the paperwork is not another job on your list.

TAC

TAC claims accepted with a valid claim number.

Transport Accident Commission claims are treated the same way — bring your claim number and we manage the rest with TAC directly.

NDIS

NDIS — self-managed and plan-managed participants welcome.

Physiotherapy delivered as clinical allied health under a participant plan, including functional capacity assessment and reporting written for the people who read it.

  • Clinical allied health physiotherapy under self- and plan-managed plans
  • Physiotherapy functional capacity assessment and written reporting
  • Mobility, transfers and equipment review in the environment it is used in
  • Goal-linked review so progress is evidenced, not asserted

Private health

Private health rebates on the spot.

HICAPS terminal in the clinic — claim your extras rebate at the counter and pay only the gap. Your level of cover determines the rebate; your fund sets that, not us.

Aged care

Aged care physiotherapy, in the home or the residence.

Strength, balance and falls-risk work for older adults, delivered where the person actually lives. We work alongside the care team and provide written reporting for the care plan.

Mentorship

Clinical mentorship for physiotherapists.

Structured supervision and case-based mentoring for early-career physiotherapists and clinicians moving into musculoskeletal caseloads. Sessions are built around your own cases and reasoning, not a syllabus.

  • Case-based clinical reasoning, using your current caseload
  • Assessment and handling skills reviewed in person
  • Support for AHPRA supervision requirements where applicable

Power Physiotherapy is a private practice. We accept self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants; we are not an NDIA-registered provider. Rebates and entitlements are set by your fund, insurer or plan — we’ll tell you what applies before you book, not after. Booking, deposit and cancellation policy.

Common questions

Before you book

Do I need a referral?

No. Physiotherapists are primary practitioners, so you can book directly. A referral is only needed for Medicare-subsidised care plans — WorkCover and TAC patients just need their claim number.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Shorts help for lower-limb problems. There’s a private room if you need to change.

How long is a session?

Initial consults run longer than follow-ups so there’s time for a full assessment. Exact times and fees are shown when you book.

Can I claim on the spot?

Yes. We process health fund rebates through HICAPS at the desk — bring your card and pay only the gap.

What’s the cancellation policy?

Free to move or cancel with more than 24 hours' notice. Inside 24 hours, or if an appointment isn't attended, 50% of the appointment fee applies — it's a genuine estimate of what the unfilled time costs, not a penalty. We don't charge it where the reason was outside your control, and nothing is charged without contacting you first. A deposit confirms your booking and comes off the cost of the appointment.

Can I use my NDIS plan?

Yes, if your plan is self-managed or plan-managed. We're not an NDIA-registered provider, so agency-managed plans can't be used with us. We provide physiotherapy as clinical allied health, including functional capacity assessment and the written reporting that goes with it.

Do you treat WorkCover and TAC patients?

Yes. Bring your claim number and insurer details to your first visit and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do home visits?

Yes. Mobile appointments run the same as in-rooms: full assessment, diagnosis in plain language, and a written plan. Tell us where you are when you book and we’ll confirm what’s available.

Is a mobile appointment different from coming in?

The assessment is the same. The advantage is that we set your rehab up in the space you’ll actually do it in. Some equipment-based treatment is clinic-only, and we’ll tell you upfront if that applies.

Will it hurt?

Assessment shouldn’t be painful, and we’ll tell you before we do anything that might be uncomfortable. You can stop at any point.

What if I’ve already had physio that didn’t work?

Bring what you’ve tried. Knowing what didn’t help is genuinely useful — it narrows the mechanism faster.

Didn’t find your question? Ask us when you book — it takes two minutes.
