How to Get a Physiotherapist to Come to Your Home
No clinic visits needed. Here is how to book mobile physiotherapy in Sydney in 3 simple steps.
Call Us or Send an Enquiry
The quickest way to get started is to call us on 0431 092 829. You can also use our contact form if you prefer to send a written enquiry.
When you get in touch, tell us about your situation: what you need help with, where you are located, and any funding you may have in place. This helps us work out the best approach for you.
We can usually tell you over the phone whether your physiotherapy can be funded through Support at Home, DVA, Medicare or another pathway. If you are not sure what funding you have, we can help you work that out too.
There is no obligation. We are happy to answer your questions before you commit to anything.
We Arrange Your First Appointment
Once we understand your needs, we find a time that suits your routine. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Your first appointment is longer than follow-up sessions to allow for a thorough assessment. This gives your physiotherapist time to understand your medical history, assess your current condition, and discuss your goals.
We bring all necessary equipment to your home - you do not need to prepare anything special. Just be in comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.
If you have a referral from your GP or care coordinator, have it ready for the first visit. However, a referral is not required for private or self-funded appointments.
Your Physiotherapist Comes to You
An AHPRA registered physiotherapist arrives at your home at the scheduled time. No travel, no waiting rooms, no parking.
Your first visit typically includes:
- A review of your medical history and current concerns
- A physical assessment of your strength, mobility and balance
- Goal setting - what you want to achieve from your treatment
- Initial treatment to begin addressing your needs straight away
- A personalised exercise program you can follow between sessions
Follow-up sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals. Your physiotherapist adjusts your treatment plan as you progress, so your care evolves with you.
Sessions are typically 30 to 60 minutes depending on your treatment plan and the type of physiotherapy you are receiving.

What If I Need Funding?
You do not have to pay out of pocket for home visit physiotherapy if you have eligible funding. Here is a quick overview of the main pathways:
Support at Home (formerly Home Care Packages)
Physiotherapy is fully funded under the Clinical Care category with no client contribution. Your care coordinator arranges the referral and the government pays the provider directly.
Medicare
With a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan, you may be eligible for up to 5 allied health sessions per calendar year. A Medicare rebate applies to each session.
DVA, private health insurance and self-funded
DVA Gold and White card holders can access fully funded physiotherapy with a GP referral. Private health insurance extras cover may provide rebates. Self-funded clients are also welcome at competitive rates.
