Do I need a referral?
Referrals from your GP, Medical Specialist or Healthcare Provider play an important role in your orthotic treatment.
A referral will:
- Contain important information about the location, type and severity of the injury
- Have the details of your doctor or specialist in the event that we need to discuss your case further with them
- Allow you to claim a rebate from your private health insurer.
Not everyone requires a referral to see us, so if you are interested in making an appointment please contact us for further advice.

What if my brace is uncomfortable?
Your brace should not be painful to wear and most common problems associated with braces can either be fixed over the phone or at a review appointment.
