How do I book an appointment?

Either call 6468 6825, send us an email at info@fieldworkhealth.com.au or click on the Book button to use our online booking facility.


What appointment should I book?

Are you a New Client?

If you are a new client to Fieldwork Health, you have a new issue or you haven't seen us in a while choose an "Initial appointment".  This allows the clinician more time to go through your issues and formulate the plan to get you better faster!

Are you a return client?

Your clinician should have given you a plan for your appointment length required for your issue.  If you are unsure, give us a call on 64686825 and our friendly team will assist you to make sure you are getting what you need.


Whom should I book with?

It is important you get the right person to treat your specific issue to get the best outcome and get you out of pain fast!  Fieldwork has Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists and Remedial Massage Therapists to help you.

We will ask you a few questions to best direct you to the practitioner that suits your needs.  See our team and some of their interests here.


How long are my appointments?

Appointments may vary from 20 minute short consultations to longer 60 minute consults.

Your initial appointment is generally longer, involving planning and goal setting, more detailed notes and assessment.

Follow up appointments will vary with your presentation and severity.

Generally if things are really painful the appointments will be shorter and more frequent. 

If you have had a longer or a chronic presentation (or less painful) we can generally dive deeper into the reason behind your issue.  These appointments will generally be longer and spaced out more.


What are the cost of appointments?

Our appointments change in cost with the length of appointment.  Here is an easy table to show you the cost breakdowns, click on the service type for additional information.


What should I wear to my appointments?

Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.

The therapists will need to access your area of complaint, so feel free to bring or change into shorts / singlets.

If you are doing a gym session - wear appropriate gym clothing, shoes and bring a water bottle.


Can I change or cancel my appointment?

At fieldwork we know life happens!  We try to book your appointments in advance so you are able to get times that suit your schedule.  

If you do need to change your appointment just give the clinic a call on 6468 6825 or email info@fieldworkhealth.com.au and our team will be able to help you out.

What forms will I need to fill out?

To save you time, we send you an email with our online new patient form for you to fill out prior to your appointment.  It sends through your information automatically so no need to email us back.

We also have the form on our clinic ipad if you do not get a chance to fill it out prior to your appointment.


Do I need a doctors referral?

No you don't!  you will still be fully rebatable with your health fund without a doctors referral

If you are claiming or in the process of claiming:

  • Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA),

  • Motor Vehicle Injury Insurance or

  • Workers Compensation

Then we will require a doctors referral. Please call us on 64686825 to discuss what you need to do before your first visit.


Do you have hicaps/health insurance onsite?

Yes we do! You are able to claim your health insurance component of your appointment cost electronically in clinic.  Just bring your health insurance card and we can process that for you.

If you forget your card don't worry.  We will send you an electronic copy of the invoice that you can claim with your insurance company at any time.


Do you bulk bill?

Our physiotherapists do not bulk bill for Medicare Care Plans, however we do accept them. Payment can be made and claimed through Medicare at the end of your appointment OR payment can be made in full with receipts given to claim at a Medicare branch in your own personal time.

Workers Compensation and Motor Vehicle Claims are also accepted and can be billed to the insurance company when accepted.  Just mention to our front desk team you are booking in for one of these issues and book in with either Matt or Lauren.  We will let you know the paperwork you have to bring with you on the day of your first session.
