Managing a chronic condition? Your GP can refer you for Medicare-subsidised physiotherapy under a chronic condition management plan — up to 5 rebated allied health visits each calendar year, with rebates processed on the spot.
Physiotherapy Under a Medicare Care Plan
If you live with a chronic condition — like back pain, arthritis, diabetes, or a heart or lung condition — your GP can refer you for physiotherapy or exercise physiology under a Medicare chronic condition management plan (previously known as an EPC or CDM plan).
The plan gives you up to five Medicare-rebated allied health visits each calendar year, shared across the providers your GP refers you to. We process your Medicare rebate on the spot at each visit, so you only pay the small gap.
How Medicare Covers Physiotherapy
Medicare doesn’t cover standard physiotherapy visits — but it does subsidise treatment for people with chronic conditions through a GP chronic condition management plan (the scheme formerly called an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan or Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan).
Your GP assesses your eligibility, creates the plan, and refers you to us. Each eligible visit attracts a Medicare rebate, which we process for you on the spot at the clinic — you only pay the difference between our fee and the rebate.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may be eligible if you have a chronic medical condition — one that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more — and your GP decides a chronic condition management plan is appropriate. Your GP makes this assessment, so a conversation with them is the best first step.
