Federal workers, covered wherever you are

Comcare is the federal workers compensation scheme. It covers Australian Government employees and the staff of national employers licensed under it, in every state and territory. Comcare funds telehealth physiotherapy, so a worker in a remote town is as reachable as one in a capital city.

How the pathway works

Approved once, then straight into treatment

Comcare is one of the most straightforward schemes in the country for online physiotherapy. A physiotherapist needs current AHPRA registration, not a scheme provider number, so there is no state border to work around and no registration queue to wait in. Your claims manager approves treatment on your claim and we get started.

  • An initial block of physiotherapy is funded on an approved claim
  • After the first five sessions we write and submit your Physiotherapy Treatment Plan
  • A fresh plan is also needed after a long break in treatment or a change of clinic
  • We invoice Comcare or your licensed employer's claims manager directly
  • Who is covered. Australian Government employees and workers of employers licensed under the Comcare scheme.
  • Where. Every state and territory, including towns with no local physiotherapist.
  • What you pay. On an approved claim, nothing.
  • In person care. A mobile physiotherapist arranged where one is available near you.
We confirm your cover with your claims manager before we start.

Where we cover

Online physiotherapy, state by state

Comcare covers you in every state and territory, so where you live does not change your access to care. If your injury sits with a state scheme instead, here is how the cover works in the areas we treat by video today.

New South Wales

In New South Wales we treat icare and SIRA workers compensation claims and CTP motor accident claims, and bill the insurer directly. On an accepted claim there is nothing for you to pay.

Queensland

In Queensland we treat WorkCover Queensland work injury claims and CTP motor accident claims by video. Telehealth needs the insurer's prior approval, which we arrange for you. On an accepted claim there is nothing for you to pay.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you book

Who does Comcare cover?
Comcare covers Australian Government employees and the workers of national employers licensed under the Comcare scheme, anywhere in Australia.
Does Comcare fund telehealth physiotherapy?
Yes. Comcare publishes telehealth physiotherapy rates for every state and territory, which makes it a clean fit for workers in regional and remote areas.
Do I need a Comcare provider number to see a PACT physiotherapist?
No. Comcare asks for current AHPRA registration rather than a scheme provider number, so there is nothing extra for you to arrange. Your claims manager approves treatment on your claim and we handle the paperwork.
What happens after the first five sessions?
We prepare a Physiotherapy Treatment Plan and submit it to your claims manager, setting out your progress, your goals and what further treatment is needed. A plan is also required after a long gap in treatment or if you change clinic.
My employer is a licensee rather than a government department. Am I still covered?
Yes. Employers licensed under the Comcare scheme are handled the same way. We confirm your cover, then invoice your employer's claims manager directly.
I am a federal worker in a remote town. Can you help?
Yes. We start your care by secure video and arrange an in person mobile physiotherapist where one is available near you.
Is online physiotherapy the same as telehealth?
Yes. Online physiotherapy and telehealth physiotherapy are the same thing at PACT: a secure video consultation with an AHPRA registered physiotherapist, with the same reporting and insurer billing as an in person visit.
