Physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, dentists and psychologists must be registered with Ahpra to practise in Australia. You can look anyone up on the Ahpra Register of practitioners. Dietitians and exercise physiologists are self-regulated: look for an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) or an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP).
You can book most allied health practitioners directly, without a referral. A referral from your GP is needed if you want to use a Medicare plan, and some services, such as imaging, need a referral for a rebate.
A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan gives eligible patients up to five Medicare-rebated allied health visits each calendar year. Many practitioners also accept private health extras cover. Ask the practice about fees, gaps and on-the-spot claiming before your first visit.
Physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, dentists, psychologists and several other professions must be registered with Ahpra. Dietitians and exercise physiologists are accredited through their professional bodies instead.
If you have a chronic condition, your GP may prepare a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, which allows up to five Medicare-rebated allied health visits each calendar year. The five visits are shared across all allied health providers, and most practices still charge a gap.
Not to book privately. You only need a referral or GP plan to claim a Medicare rebate for allied health visits.
