A referral from your General Practitioner (GP) or a specialist doctor is required to be able to claim maximum Medicare rebates.

It is important to bring along any relevant imaging or investigations that may have been performed in the past. In addition to your referral, a brief letter from your physiotherapist etc. can also be very useful, as Paul will aim to liaise on further management with them as required.

Higher Medicare Rebates Effective 1 July 2025

From 1 July 2025, Sport & Exercise Medicine Physicians are formally recognised as consultant physicians and can now access new Medicare item numbers (aligning them with other specialists like cardiologists and neurologists). These new item numbers give patients a higher medicare rebate than in the past. This change acknowledges the complexity of sports medicine consultations.
