The Holistic Physio difference.
You are a unique individual, and your treatment is tailored to your condition, not a one-answer-for-all solution.
True healing involves the whole person: body, mind and environment, not just isolated symptoms. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, every session is tailored to your unique condition, lifestyle and goals.
What sets us apart
- Assessed and treated as a whole person
- Symptoms treated alongside their underlying cause
- Hands-on, one-on-one treatment
- A private room, every session

- Not a side skill
Sandra's acupuncture degree is recognised by health funds, one of few in Australia.
- Whole-body assessment

- A calm, focused environment
Healing thrives when privacy and full attention are prioritised.
Symptoms are rarely isolated
Underlying emotional, lifestyle and environmental factors are carefully considered alongside the physical, to form your holistic diagnosis and treatment.

Patient story
A patient worked with the clinic over several years for a range of issues, from acute injuries to ongoing wellbeing support. What stood out to them wasn't any single treatment, but being treated as a whole person each time, with each new issue considered alongside their full history rather than as a standalone complaint.
Details altered to protect patient privacy. Individual results vary and depend on your specific condition and history.
Our belief
You play a vital role in your own healthcare. The earlier you seek treatment, the quicker you get better.
Good questions
If yours is not answered here, call or email and we will happily talk it through.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No, you can book directly. If you have already seen a doctor, bring along any scans, reports or letters. A referral is only required for WorkCover, Veterans' Affairs, CTP (third party insurance) or Medicare chronic condition management plans.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Any scan or blood test reports, a written list of medications if you take several, and your doctor's referral if you have one. Comfortable clothing helps too.
Can I claim treatments on my private health fund?
In most cases, yes. The clinic is registered with all major health funds for physiotherapy, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. If your policy covers the modality, you can usually claim on the spot through HICAPS and just pay the gap.
Can I claim through Medicare?
With a GP referral under a Medicare chronic condition management plan, you may be eligible for up to 5 subsidised allied health services per calendar year. That allowance is shared across all allied health providers, not 5 physiotherapy visits on their own, so it is worth checking what you have already used. Consultations are not bulk-billed: you pay in full and the Medicare rebate is refunded to your account via HICAPS. Confirm your eligibility and the current rebate amount with your GP or Medicare.
How can I pay?
EFTPOS is available at the clinic, so you can pay by bank card or credit card. Cash is welcome too. Health fund claims go through HICAPS on the spot.
Where is the clinic and is there parking?
