What is a Medicare (EPC) Physiotherapy Referral?
A Medicare physiotherapy referral — often called an EPC (Enhanced Primary Care) or Chronic Condition Management (CCMP) plan — is arranged by your GP.
It allows you to access up to 5 allied health sessions per calendar year, including physiotherapy, with a Medicare rebate applied to each session.
Medicare physiotherapy is designed to support patients with chronic or long-term conditions, helping improve pain, function, and overall quality of life.
Your first session includes a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and a clear plan outlining what’s causing your symptoms, how we’ll treat it, and what to expect over the coming sessions.

Our Approach to Medicare Physiotherapy
Many patients use their Medicare sessions for short-term pain relief and stop once symptoms improve. At our Subiaco physiotherapy clinic, we take this further — guiding you through structured strength and rehabilitation so your results last beyond your Medicare sessions.
At Perth Physio Precinct Subiaco, we focus on:
- Identifying the underlying cause of your condition
- Guiding you through a clear, structured rehab plan
- Progressing you from pain → strength → long-term function
Where appropriate, we also transition patients into:
- Supervised strength-based rehabilitation
- Physio-led Pilates and exercise programs
This helps ensure you don’t just feel better temporarily — but actually
stay better long-term, even after your Medicare sessions finish.
Why Choose Our Subiaco Physiotherapy Clinic?
Most patients use their Medicare sessions for short-term pain relief and stop once symptoms settle. At our Subiaco physio clinic, we regularly work alongside local GPs to support patients under Medicare care plans. Our physiotherapists will guide you beyond this stage into structured strength and rehabilitation, reducing the risk of your pain returning once your Medicare sessions finish.
- Experienced physiotherapists focused on long-term outcomes
- Structured rehab approach (not just quick fixes)
- Bulk billing options available for eligible patients
- Integrated strength and Pilates-based rehab pathways
- Conveniently located in
Subiaco, servicing Perth and surrounding suburbs
What Happens After Your Medicare Physiotherapy Sessions?
Medicare physiotherapy plans typically include up to 5 sessions per year, which is often enough to begin reducing pain and improving movement — but not always enough to fully resolve the underlying issue.
At our Subiaco physiotherapy clinic, we use your Medicare sessions to:
- Set a clear diagnosis
- Reduce pain and irritation
- Build early confidence with movement
From there, we guide you into the next stage of your rehabilitation to ensure your results last.
This may include:
- Progressing into strength-based rehabilitation
- Transitioning to physio-led Pilates or supervised exercise
- Continuing a structured plan focused on long-term function and injury prevention
Many patients find that without this next phase, symptoms can return once treatment stops.
Our goal is to help you not only feel better — but stay better long-term, with a clear plan that extends beyond your Medicare sessions.
