Physiotherapists
Compare local physiotherapists and book online in seconds.
Physiotherapists treat injuries, pain and movement problems using evidence-based techniques, from post-surgical rehab to sports injuries, back pain and balance in older adults. All Australian physiotherapists must be registered with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia through AHPRA, and you do not need a GP referral to book privately, so you can usually be seen within days.
With OneBookPlus you can see real appointment availability across local clinics and book the time that suits, including before-work and Saturday slots. Rebooking your review appointments takes seconds, reminders keep your rehab program on track, and a consistent booking history helps you and your physio measure progress over time.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Physiotherapist
- Check AHPRA registration and ask about experience with your specific problem, whether that is a shoulder reconstruction, running injury or vertigo.
- Ask how much hands-on time you get; a 30-minute consult spent mostly on a heat pack is poor value.
- Look for clinics that prescribe active exercise programs, not just passive treatment, since evidence strongly favours movement.
- Confirm HICAPS on-the-spot claiming if you have extras cover, and ask about fees before you arrive.
- For workers compensation or motor accident claims, choose a clinic experienced with insurer paperwork in your state.
- Ask whether initial and follow-up appointments differ in length and price so comparisons are fair.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. Physiotherapists are primary healthcare practitioners in Australia, so you can book directly for private treatment. A GP referral is only required to access Medicare rebates under a chronic condition management plan, or for DVA, workers compensation and some motor accident claims where the insurer requires one.
Does Medicare cover physiotherapy?
Only in limited cases. If you have a chronic condition, your GP can refer you under a chronic condition management plan for up to five Medicare-rebated allied health visits per calendar year, shared across all allied health services. The rebate covers part of the fee, so a gap payment usually applies.
What should I bring to my first physio appointment?
Bring any scans and reports, a list of medications, your health fund card, and referral paperwork if you have a care plan or insurance claim. Wear clothing that lets the physio see and move the affected area, such as shorts for knee problems. Arrive a few minutes early for intake forms.
