Department of Veteran Affairs

Veterans may be able to access exercise physiology services.  Access to these services requires a referral form from your general practitioner (D904). These sessions are bulk billed, resulting in no cost to you. More information can be obtained from your GP, or at the Department of Veteran Affairs website www.dva.gov.au

Private Health Funds

A number of private health funds offer rebates for exercise physiology services to their members. These include: GMF Health, MBF, Grand United, Australian Unity, Medibank, NIB, Teacher’s Federation, HBF, AHM, CBHS, HCF and Reserve Bank. The amount of rebate depends upon the individual’s health fund and their level of cover. Please contact your individual health fund to discuss rebates, and be sure to mention this to your exercise physiologist before proceeding.   Please note that private health fund members may also be eligible for Medicare rebates, but will not be able to claim a Medicare and private health rebate for the same session.
