F.A.Q.’s

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral? 

  • For all private patients – No; simply book online or call 0428 575 229 for our friendly staff to assist you.  
  • If you are a DVA / TAC / WorkSafe / Medicare billable patient – Yes; you will need a referral from your GP in order to avoid full fee payment on the day. 

What can I expect from Inform Physio Care during the first appointment? 

  • The first appointment is tailored towards finding your major contributing factors to your condition and does include an initial start on treatment.  
  • During your assessment, we ask you specific questions to start the diagnosis process and always ask what your intended aims/goals as this helps shape your management plan to better suit your needs.  
  • We give you our IAP (Initial Assessment Plan) to take with you following the initial session to help give you a full understanding of your condition and steps needed to get resolution of your symptoms, including follow up appointments and home management.  

What happens during follow-up sessions with Inform Physio Care? 

  • Accurate advice, expert hands-on skills where indicated and the precise exercises needed to not only improve your symptoms, but keep you there! 
  • We build on each session with different treatment tools and small upgrades to your exercise program and adjust your outlook depending upon your rate of improvement.  
  • At a chosen period in time, we will reassess your journey so far, showing how your symptoms have changed and hopefully, change the goal posts for you! 

What should I wear to my appointments?  

  • Depending on the area of concern, we will request removal of necessary items of clothing and we will respect your privacy in doing so, as this is very important to us.  
  • TIPS: Shorts are a great choice when assessing leg injuries, as too are singlets for upper limb and neck complaints.
