Frequently Asked Questions

​Do I need a referral to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist?

No referral needed — you can book directly with us. If you do have one from your GP or obstetrician, bring it along, but it's not a requirement to get started.

When should I see a pelvic floor physiotherapist?

​Earlier than most people think — not just after symptoms like leaking, heaviness, or pain show up. Pregnancy, the postnatal period, before and after gynaecological surgery, and during perimenopause/menopause are all common reasons people come in proactively, alongside any bladder, bowel, or pelvic pain concerns.

Are health fund rebates available?

Physiotherapy is claimable under most private health extras policies, and we have HICAPS on-site so you can claim on the spot and only pay the gap. The rebate amount depends on your fund and level of cover.

What actually happens in a pelvic floor physio appointment?

​Your first session starts with a conversation — your history, symptoms, and what you're hoping to achieve — before any hands-on assessment. Depending on what we're addressing, this may include an internal examination, but only with your full understanding and consent, and only if it's going to be useful. You're always in control of what happens in the room.

​Can I bring my baby to my appointment?

Yes, absolutely — bring bub along, pram and all. Many of our clients are juggling a baby at every appointment, and our rooms and team are set up for exactly that. Feed, settle, or bounce them through the session if you need to; it won't disrupt anything.

How much does an appointment cost?

Cost varies depending on which practitioner you see, based on their qualifications and experience — you can find exact rates for each of our team members on ourTeam page.

If your GP has provided you with a Chronic Disease Management Plan (formerly known as an EPC referral), you're welcome to use it here. Please note we're not a bulk-billing practice, so you'll pay the full appointment cost on the day, and Medicare will then reimburse you a set rebate amount directly.
