FAQ's for Home Visits
What is home visit physiotherapy?
Home visit physiotherapy is when a physiotherapist provides assessment and treatment in the comfort of your own home. It’s ideal for people with mobility issues, chronic conditions, or those who prefer not to travel to a clinic.
Who can benefit from home physiotherapy?
Home physio is ideal if you have mobility issues, are recovering from surgery, have a disability, or simply prefer treatment in the comfort of your own home. It’s also great for older adults who find travel difficult. Call us to arrange a visit that suits you.
What services are provided during a home physiotherapy session?
We provide tailored treatments including pain management, mobility exercises, rehabilitation, falls prevention, and equipment advice. Each session is personalised to your goals and environment. Book today to get started at home.
Do I need special equipment at home?
No. Your physiotherapist will bring special equipment and can bring a mobile treatment bed. They may recommend simple equipment like resistance bands, exercise balls, or mobility aids if needed and can organise these for you if necessary.
Is home physiotherapy as effective as clinic physiotherapy?
Yes. Home visits allow treatment in your own environment, making exercises more practical and relevant. For some patients, home physiotherapy can even be more effective because it reduces barriers to care.
How long does a home physio session last?
Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, depending on your needs and treatment goals. Your physiotherapist will advise what’s appropriate.
How do I book a home physiotherapy visit?
You can book directly by contacting the practice. The admin team will arrange a suitable time and ensure your physiotherapist has the right details for the visit.
What areas do you service for home physiotherapy?
This depends on the clinic. Most providers offer home visits within a set radius of their practice. Always check if your location is within the service area by calling your local Core Physio practice.
Do I need a referral for home physiotherapy?
No referral is required. However, if you are claiming through Medicare, DVA, or WorkCover, you may need a GP referral or care plan.
Is home visit physiotherapy covered by NDIS or insurance?
Yes. Home visits are often covered by NDIS, DVA, WorkCover, Medicare (via EPC plan), or private health insurance, depending on your plan and eligibility.
