REFERRAL AND FEES
REFERRAL
Our referrals come from Surgeons, GPs,
Physiotherapists and others. However, you do not specifically require a referral to be seen by us for hand
therapy.
|
To help us provide the best possible service we recommend new
clients bring all relevant
x-ray, test and investigation
results and your doctor's
referral (if you have one) to your first appointment.

Private patients may receive a rebate from their private health
