Find out if you need a referral to book a consultation and how it works with Medicare rebates.

For a holistic Sports and Exercise Medicine consultation, you have 2 options:

If you are eligible for Medicare, you need a referral from your GP or doctor to get a rebate.

You can still see me if you do not have a referral, but the consultation will not be rebatable.

For Lifestyle Medicine consultation or Health Coaching: No referral is required. This currently is a non-medicare rebatable service.

Get an overview of what to expect in your first session and how we’ll create your personalised plan.

Initial consults are typically about 45 minutes long. During this time, I have the privilege of getting to know you better, your presenting problem, desired outcomes, and your goals. This is followed by a physical assessment and review of any pre-ordered investigations to complement the history. Together, we will devise a suitable management strategy and treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.

Learn how follow-ups help you stay on track and adjust your plan as needed.

During a follow up plan we will review how you have progressed with any treatments, exercises or lifestyle-based strategies prescribed in the initial consultation. The outcome of any relevant investigations will be discussed. You will walk away with a revised treatment strategy to implement.

After initial consultation, most  individuals require  about 2-6 consultations. Timing of follow up varies but usually occurs  at  1-2weeks , 4 weeks , 6-8 weeks ,   and 12 weeks. This depends on your presenting condition and progress in achieving your health goals. further follow up arrangements will be arranged. Consultations are face-to-face or via video-conference where appropriate.

Email communication is used where appropriate for communication with known clients. Email is not used for diagnosis.
