About Allied Health
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of services are included in allied health?
Allied health services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, audiology and hearing care, dietetics, myotherapy, hand therapy, exercise physiology, play therapy, and podiatry. These services support recovery from injury, management of chronic conditions, rehabilitation after surgery, and everyday wellbeing across Western Victoria.
Do I need a GP referral to see an allied health professional?
You do not always need a GP referral to see an allied health professional, as many clinics accept self-referrals. A referral may be required for Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans, Department of Veterans' Affairs, workers compensation, or government hearing programs, so it is best to check with the provider and your GP.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
At your first appointment you can expect a thorough discussion of your health history and goals, an assessment relevant to your concern, and a clear plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercise or activity programs, education, and follow-up options such as classes, splinting, or device fitting if needed.
Are mobile and home-based allied health services available in Western Victoria?
Mobile and home-based allied health services are available in Western Victoria, with some providers offering in-home assessments, therapy, and functional capacity evaluations, as well as outreach to workplaces, schools, and multiple regional towns. It is worth asking providers about their service area and any travel fees.
How do I choose the right allied health professional for my needs?
To choose the right allied health professional for your needs, match your condition to the specialty, such as a hand therapist for upper limb injuries, an audiologist for hearing concerns, a paediatric OT or physio for children, a sports physio for injuries, or a dietitian for nutrition. Consider location, appointment flexibility, aftercare, group programs, and whether they offer mobile visits or telehealth.
