MEDICARE (1/2 HOUR)
Each calendar year, you may be entitled to 5 EPC (Enhanced Primary Care Plan) referrals from your GP for the management of your chronic illness.
A chronic illness is classified as a condition that has been ongoing for longer than 6 months or a past injury or condition that has reoccurred several times.
To access these 5 EPC sessions, the referring GP must complete a care plan and have ongoing communication with the referred allied health group in order to adequately care for the client.
EPC plans from The Garage Exercise Physiologist are Bulk Billed, which means no extra costs are needed to pay for the EPC sessions. You may or may not be eligible for these as the doctor has to follow government rules for referrals.
MEDICARE (DIABETIC)
Each calendar year, you may be entitled to 1 initial assessment and 8 partially paid Group Sessions as a diabetic. These are also obtained from your GP. An initial 30min assessment is required for everyone participating and is bulk billed through Medicare. The 8 partially paid group sessions will be roughly $10-15 out of pocket for the hour and consist of 3-5 people.
PRIVATE HEALTH FUNDS
People who are registered with private health funds may be entitled to a certain amount rebate for Exercise Physiology. Please check with your health fund.
WORKER’S COMPENSATION AND CTP INSURANCE
Sometimes, it’s hard when something unexpectedly happens and you get caught up in an accident or traumatic incident.
We are here to help you get back into living the lifestyle that you were having before the incident occurred.
When you get injured either through a work or vehicle accident you may be eligible for some compensation which may include exercise physiology consultations.
We will aid you with your recovery back to pre-injury status both for going back to work and for going back to things you used to love doing but are having trouble doing now.
NDIS: NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME
Realising that with permanent disabilities, sometimes you are not able to do what you want to do.
You really want to do some activities but it is challenging to work your way towards doing these activities.
We as a clinic have a role to play in aiding you towards you being able to do what you want to do through Programming, Exercise Therapy, Mental Support and most importantly Self Empowerment and independence.
We need you to realise that you have more control over your body than anyone else does and though we put the work in to aid you, it is ultimately your own will that will help you prevail.
With the NDIS supporting people with permanent disabilities, you are now able to spend an allocated amount under Daily Living & Health and Wellbeing Categories.
