Physiotherapy Fees & Funding Perth & Regional WA
Understand the payment and funding options available at Tweak Health Physio & Wellness, including private health, Medicare GPCCMP, Workers Compensation, DVA, motor injury insurance and approved accounts.
Eligibility, approval and rebates vary between funding providers. Our reception team can explain Tweak Health’s booking and billing requirements, but final approval remains with the relevant funder.
How Will Your Appointment Be Funded?
Select the option that best matches your circumstances. If you are waiting for approval, please read the relevant payment conditions before attending.
Private and Self-Funded Appointments
You do not usually need a referral to book a private Physiotherapy appointment. Private clients may pay independently or claim an available rebate through private health extras cover.
Payment on the day
Payment is required on the day of your appointment. Where HICAPS is available and your insurer supports the service, an eligible private-health rebate may be processed at the clinic and you will pay the remaining balance.
Rebates depend on your insurer, policy, waiting periods, annual limits and available benefits. Please confirm your expected rebate directly with your private health insurer.
Medicare GPCCMP
Some people with a chronic or terminal medical condition may be eligible for Physiotherapy under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, commonly called a GPCCMP.
Your GP or prescribed medical practitioner determines whether you are eligible and whether Physiotherapy should be included in your plan. Eligible clients may generally access up to five individual allied health services per calendar year, shared across the allied health professions included in their plan.
Tweak Health’s payment process
Please provide a valid referral before or at your appointment. Tweak Health requires payment of the full appointment fee, after which the applicable Medicare rebate can be processed or claimed.
The Medicare benefit may not cover the full appointment fee, so an out-of-pocket cost generally applies.
GPCCMP replaced the previous GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangement pathway from 1 July 2025. Some earlier plans remain transitionally valid, subject to Medicare requirements.
Workers Compensation Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy may form part of a Workers Compensation claim for a work-related injury. Treatment, reporting and billing requirements depend on the claim’s status and the relevant insurer’s approval.
Tweak Health may provide up to two Physiotherapy appointments while approval is pending. If the claim or treatment request is declined, the client remains responsible for the fees for those appointments.
What we need
- Employer and insurer details
- Claim number, where available
- Current medical certificate or referral documentation
- Case manager contact information
- Written approval when it has already been issued
Longer treatment pathways may require a Physiotherapy Treatment Management Plan or further insurer approval.
Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Clinically necessary treatment
DVA Gold Card holders may receive clinically necessary Physiotherapy for conditions covered under DVA healthcare arrangements, subject to current referral and service requirements.
Accepted conditions
DVA White Card holders may receive Physiotherapy when the treatment is for an accepted service-related condition covered by the card.
Required before treatment
A valid referral is generally required for DVA-funded Physiotherapy. Please provide your Veteran Card and referral information before your first appointment.
Holding a Veteran Card does not mean every service or condition is automatically covered. Tweak Health may need to confirm card entitlement, the accepted condition and referral requirements before commencing DVA-funded care.
Motor Injury Insurance and ICWA
Physiotherapy may be funded as part of an accepted motor injury claim through the Insurance Commission of Western Australia or another relevant insurer.
Tweak Health can bill approved treatment directly where the required claim information and approval arrangements are in place.
Fees and travel
ICWA may pay up to the applicable scheduled amount. If Tweak Health’s private fee is higher than the amount covered, the client may be responsible for the gap.
Travel-related charges require prior approval and will not be billed to the insurer without that approval.
NDIS and Other Funded Accounts
Plan or funding approval
NDIS-funded services require appropriate plan funding, service approval and billing information. Applicable NDIS maximum fees may be charged.
Claim and treatment approval
Services under an approved WA Police claim remain subject to the required claim documents, treatment plans and continuing approval.
Written acceptance required
Employer, aged-care, support or other third-party accounts must be approved by Tweak Health in writing before credit terms or direct billing will apply.
For approved accounts, remittance advice must be emailed to reception@tweak.health on the day payment is made and must clearly identify the invoice being paid.
Payment and Approval Essentials
These conditions help prevent unexpected accounts and delays in processing your appointment.
Payment is due on the day
This applies unless Tweak Health has accepted a different billing arrangement in writing.
Approval must be confirmed
A referral, claim number or proposed funding source does not necessarily confirm payment approval.
Bring your documentation
Missing referrals, claim details or approvals may mean the appointment must be privately billed.
Ask about reports early
Reports, record preparation and other administrative work may carry separate fees and require written approval.
Perth and Regional WA Clinics
Funding pathways may be available at Mount Pleasant, Belmont, Newman, Wongan Hills and Koorda. Practitioner availability and services vary by location.
Funding FAQs
Do I need a referral to see a Physiotherapist?
Private clients do not usually require a referral. A valid referral is required for Medicare GPCCMP and DVA-funded Physiotherapy. Other insurers or funding bodies may also require referrals, certificates or prior approval.
Can I attend while Workers Compensation approval is pending?
Tweak Health may provide up to two appointments while approval is pending. If the claim or treatment request is declined, you remain responsible for the fees for those appointments.
Is a GPCCMP appointment bulk billed?
No. Tweak Health requires payment of the full fee. The applicable Medicare rebate can then be processed or claimed, and an out-of-pocket cost generally remains.
Can reception guarantee that my insurer will pay?
No. Reception can explain Tweak Health’s requirements and check documentation provided to the clinic, but only the relevant insurer or funding body can confirm eligibility, liability and approval.
What happens if my funding does not cover the full fee?
Depending on the funding scheme and agreed billing arrangement, you may need to pay a gap or the full outstanding amount. Please confirm this with reception before attending if you are uncertain.
