National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Apricus Health is a registered NDIS service provider. If you have not been approved for NDIS funding, we can help you navigate the system and provide documentation and therapist reports to support your application. The scheme has been implemented by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). If you would like to know more about the NDIS or would like to see if you are eligible, please visit: www.myplace.ndis.gov.au 

Private Health Funds

If you have private health insurance, and depending on your type of cover, there may be a rebate that you can claim through your insurer. Please check with your individual health fund for specific details about what your fund offers. Please advise our reception staff when booking if your cover only includes services of a physiotherapist and we will try and match you with an appropriate therapist.

HICAPS facility is available at Apricus Health for on-the-spot health fund rebate for most heath funds. 

Chronic Disease Management – Allied Health Services Under Medicare

In some circumstances, rebate from Medicare may be available if your GP approves you for the Chronic Disease Management Program. Patients are entitled to five allied health services in a year. A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example arthritis, diabetes, burns, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke. We can offer both Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy services under the program.
