What you'll pay, before you book
Our fees are below. What you actually pay depends on your health fund. There are three ways to get the real figure, and we would rather you had one of those than a guess.
| Service | Duration | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation | 45 min | $125 |
| Subsequent consultation | — | $103 |
| Re-examination, 12 months or more since your last visit | 45 min | $125 |
| WorkCover, gap payable | — | $20 |
| TAC, gap payable | — | $10 |
| DVA gold card holders | — | No charge |
Paying on the day
We claim through HICAPS at the desk, so if you have extras cover that includes osteopathy you only pay the gap. Bring your health fund card, or the digital version in your phone wallet, which works just as well.
Funds we claim for include ahm, Australian Unity, Bupa, CBHS, Defence Health, GMHBA, HBF, HCF, Medibank, Navy Health, nib, Peoplecare and Teachers Health.
For the fee itself, tap, chip or a digital card on your phone are all fine.
If you would rather not claim on the day, we can issue a receipt for you to submit yourself.

How to get the real number
These three give you a figure you can act on, in order of reliability:
- Your fund’s app or member portal. Most show your osteopathy benefit, what you have used and what is left, in about a minute.
- Ring your fund and ask for the osteopathy benefit, item 1804 for an initial consultation and usually 1802 or 1803 for a subsequent one.
- Ask us to run a HICAPS quote when you arrive. That is the only figure that is certain, because it comes from the fund itself.
Three things catch people out: waiting periods on a new policy, an annual limit that is already spent, and a policy that covers physiotherapy but not osteopathy. All three are visible in your fund’s app.
WorkCover, TAC and DVA
We are registered providers. For WorkCover and TAC you will need an accepted claim number and your case manager’s details before your first appointment. The gap payable is in the table.
DVA gold card holders are treated at no charge. You need a valid referral from your GP. Ring us and we will tell you what to bring.
Care Plans, and what to bring
If you have a chronic condition, a Care Plan from your GP covers up to five allied health visits a year. It is worth having, and the paperwork trips people up more often than it should.
Step 1
Ask your GP
Book a standard appointment and ask about a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, which replaced GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements from 1 July 2025. You need a condition that has lasted, or is likely to last, at least six months. Your GP decides whether you qualify, and they will ask which allied health provider you want to see.
Step 2
Bring the referral to us
Your GP issues a referral form for a set number of visits. We cannot claim without it, so bring the physical form or have the practice email it ahead. The plan runs by calendar year and any unused visits do not carry over.
Step 3
Bring the right card
You pay for the appointment, then the $63.40 rebate is processed on the spot straight back to your savings or cheque account. It cannot be paid onto a credit card and it cannot be tapped, so bring the physical debit card and your Medicare number.
Also worth bringing to a first appointment, Care Plan or not: any X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI reports and images relating to the problem, a list of your current medications, and details of any previous treatment for it. If a scan was done at a radiology practice you can usually download the images from their patient portal.
One at a time. You cannot claim Medicare and private health for the same visit, so use whichever leaves you better off. If you are not sure, ask us at the desk and we will work it out with you.
