Can I claim through my private health fund?

We provide on the spot claiming through HICAPS which allows us to claim directly from your health fund. The gap can be paid via cash, credit card and EFTPOS.
Is there onsite parking?
There are two levels of car parking available in the basement of the Graceville Quarter Building. There are a number of designated car parking spaces for physiotherapy patients as well as many general parking spaces available. There is a lift to take you directly from the basement to Level 2 where the practice is located.

These sessions can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. We also offer Actively Ageing Classes throughout the week.

Before joining one of our classes an initial one-on-one session with a physiotherapist is required to ensure we know of any problems that need addressing.
