Get your plan

You leave with a clear program, and your case manager gets prompt reporting so your claim keeps moving.

Where we cover

Online physiotherapy, state by state

Physiotherapy registration is national, so what decides your cover is the scheme and the insurer, not where the physiotherapist sits. Here is where we can treat a work injury today, and how the billing works in each state.

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.

South Australia

In South Australia we treat ReturnToWorkSA work injury claims by telehealth, and we confirm CTP motor accident cover with your insurer before we start.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you book

Can a NSW physiotherapist treat my workers compensation claim in another state?
Often yes. Physiotherapy registration is national, and most schemes do not require the provider to be in your state. What matters is that the treatment is approved by your insurer. We confirm your cover before we start.
Is telehealth physiotherapy covered by workers compensation?
In many schemes yes. NSW, South Australia and Comcare fund telehealth physiotherapy, and Queensland funds it by video with prior approval. We confirm the position for your scheme before we begin.
What if I also need to be seen in person?
Where a mobile physiotherapist is available near you, we arrange an in person home or workplace visit. Where one is not available yet, telehealth keeps your recovery moving in the meantime.
Does my case manager get reporting?
Yes. Every compensable case gets same day clinical reporting, written with a clear recovery at work focus, so your claim keeps moving.
Do I need a GP referral to see a physio on workers comp in NSW?
No. Under SIRA rules you can start physiotherapy without a GP referral, and the first eight sessions on an accepted claim are pre approved. You need a claim number; the Certificate of Capacity comes from your nominated treating doctor for the claim itself.
Can I choose my own physio for my workers comp claim?
Yes. In NSW you choose your own SIRA approved physiotherapist, including a telehealth provider, and you can change physios during a claim. If you move to PACT mid claim we take over with one pre approved session and handle the approval paperwork.
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.
