Do I need a referral?

Osteopathic Works is a primary healthcare practice, therefore you do not need a referral. If you are part of Chronic Disease Management Plan you will need a referral from your GP.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on your condition, you may see changes in your symptoms after one or two visits. Long term or chronic conditions may require more treatment. Your Osteopath will discuss this with you during your initial consultation.

Can I claim the cost of my treatment?

We have HICAPS facilities for patients with extras cover under their Private Health Insurance. Medicare rebates are available through the Chronic Disease Management Program. A GP referral is necessary for this service, and a gap fee payment is required.

How long is my appointment?

Initial Osteopathic Consultations are 60 minutes. Return Consultations are 30 minutes. Shock wave therapy alone is 15 minutes. Myotherapy, Remedial Massage and Nutrition Consultations are all 60 or 90 minutes depending on your concern.

Do you offer extended hours?

Yes. We offer early morning and late evening appointments during the week plus Saturday mornings for your convenience.
