How does Online Physiotherapy work?
Your private online sports physiotherapy sessions are conducting directly though our medical software called Cliniko, which provides world class service.
The sessions are totally encrypted and pass all the Australian Privacy Principles standards (as well as European and American standards too).
When you book your consultation, you will receive an email with a link to 'join meeting'.
At the time of your consultation, simply click the link, and once the practitioner is ready and has started the meeting, you will be live and the consult can begin- It's that easy.
We request that you set up in a quiet room, with enough space to do some simple movements to demonstrate your current injury and capacity, and do some simple exercise.
Please wear similar clothes that you would normally wear to an in-clinic physiotherapy consultation. Shorts and a singlet are perfect. Ideally, the therapist would like to view the joint or body part in question.

Frequently Asked Questions about Online Physiotherapy Telehealth Sessions
How much does an online sports physiotherapy consultation cost?
We realise that you won't be getting any hands on treatment (even though you may not need it for the long term anyway) so instead of our usual $99 for a 30 minute consult fee, we have extended the appointment time to 45 minutes, PLUS you'll receive a written management plan, PLUS an individual tailored exercise program with videos of all your exercises via our personalised rehab app, all for only $89. That's a great saving for access to highly skilled physiotherapists. Follow up review appointments are only $69, and you can access your physio via email for all your follow up questions that may have.
Can I use my Private Health for an online sports physiotherapy sessions?
From 14th April, most private health insurance companies will allow you to claim your private health insurance rebates for online physiotherapy consultations. There are a few requirements for some people, so please contact the clinic for all the details on 1300 369 930.
Can I use Medicare for an online physiotherapy session?
Yes, you can use medicare for online physiotherapy sessions, as long as you are on a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan from your GP. You can check HERE to find out more about the CDM plans. If you need to see a GP for a medical issue, or to get a CDM plan, we can recommend Royal Park Medical, who offer Telehealth GP services.
What happens if I need scans or a referral?
The physios at Melbourne Sports Physiotherapy are still able to refer you for imaging (XRay, Ultrasound, MRI) as they deem necessary. Different scans for different body parts attract varying medicare rebates (we know, it's confusing right?), so we also work in conjunction with your doctor or specialist to work out the best option for you.
If we think your condition is not appropriate for physiotherapy, we will refer you onto the particular service.
What if I need to see a Podiatrist for an online Podiatry consultation?
We work side by side our colleagues at Melbourne Podiatry Clinic, and can direct refer you to them, as they operate an excellent online podiatry consulting service.
The health and well being of you, our valued clients, and our team are our highest priority. If you would like to learn more during this period of uncertainty and confusion, you can contact us on 1300 369 930.
