Get back to doing what you love
After a sports injury, your journey back to physical fitness starts with consulting one of our specialist sports physicians. You don’t need a GP referral to see us, but if you do have one you’ll get a larger Medicare rebate.
After a thorough examination by the sports physician, you’ll be given some options to consider, followed by a surgical or non-surgical treatment plan.
Following treatment, you’ll be referred for rehabilitation with one of our physiotherapists or rehabilitation specialists.
