Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see an Exercise Physiologist?

No. VIP Health and Wellness’s exercise physiologists are recognised as Primary Healthcare Practitioners. This means patients can access our services without a referral from a GP or specialist.

We also welcome referrals from GPs and specialists, particularly when a GP Management Plan or Team Care Arrangements (formerly known as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan) are in place.

Can I use my Private Health Insurance?

Yes. Most health insurance providers cover exercise physiology as part of extras coverage. If you are unsure if your insurance will cover you, please contact your health provider for confirmation.

Unfortunately we are only accepting online Exercise Physiology appointments at this point in time.

Do you take face to face consultations?

How do I make an appointment?

At VIP Health and Wellness we are by appointment only. You can make an appointment with us online or through email.
