Do you need bulk billing physiotherapy?
If you have a Medicare referral from your doctor, we can bulk bill up to five physiotherapy appointments each year.
Range Rehab's mission is to provide high quality, affordable physiotherapy. Unfortunately, bulk billing isn't available to everyone — you'll need a special referral from your doctor before Medicare allows us to bulk bill your visits.

How does bulk billed physiotherapy work?
Eligible patients with chronic illnesses can receive 5 Medicare-funded sessions per calendar year, on top of any existing health insurance coverage. These can be spread across different health services, or used solely for physiotherapy.
Bulk billed sessions are funded through Medicare and processed automatically — you'll never need to pay out of pocket for eligible visits.
How to qualify
Talk to your GP about whether you're eligible for a GP referral program, a Chronic Disease Management (Care Plan), or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC). Once approved, you'll need a referral from your GP — we can't provide this ourselves. A Care Plan referral gives you a limited number of physiotherapy sessions each year with no out-of-pocket cost.
Assessment and reporting
As this is government-subsidised treatment, we're required to periodically assess and report your progress to the relevant authorities. Outside of that mandatory reporting, we never share your information with third parties.
