177 Trimmer Parade, Seaton SA 5023Physiotherapy for Doctors' Health Fund Members in Seaton
Doctors' Health Fund accepted — claim on the spot
Cover for medical practitioners — and appointments that fit a clinic day.
UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats Doctors' Health Fund members and claims at reception through HICAPS, so your rebate comes off immediately and you pay only the gap. No referral is needed to book.
We hold appointments outside standard consulting hours, which for a practising clinician is usually the deciding factor in whether treatment happens at all.
Claiming your Doctors' Health Fund rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your Doctors' Health Fund rebate is deducted immediately and you pay only the difference by card. Nothing is posted, nothing is reimbursed weeks later, and you leave with the claim already settled.
- Bring your fund card — the physical card or the one in your fund's app.
- No referral required. Physiotherapy is a direct-access profession in Australia.
- Pay the gap only, by card, on the day.
- Tell us if you are near your annual limit so we can plan treatment around it.

New patients can also use our initial consultation offer — terms are on that page.
How Doctors' Health Fund extras handle physiotherapy
Its extras are designed for a membership that understands healthcare and tends to use it appropriately, and physiotherapy benefits are generally generous as a result. As with any fund, the benefit per consultation and the annual limit follow the cover you hold.
Doctors are, in our experience, among the worst patients for leaving a musculoskeletal problem too long — long clinic days, no time, and a tendency to self-manage. The complaints we see reflect that: problems that would have been straightforward at six weeks arriving at six months.
Who Doctors' Health Fund covers
Doctors' Health Fund is a restricted fund for medical practitioners, medical students and their families, part of the Avant group.
What we treat
Our Seaton clinic on Trimmer Parade sees back and neck pain, shoulder and knee problems, sporting injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, work injuries and persistent pain. Alongside hands-on treatment we offer dry needling, shockwave therapy and hydrotherapy, and we see patients from Grange, West Lakes, Findon, Fulham Gardens and Port Adelaide.
Doctors' Health Fund physiotherapy questions
Can I get an appointment outside clinic hours?
Yes. We hold evening appointments at Seaton specifically because standard business hours don't work for people who are themselves consulting during them.
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. Physiotherapy is a primary contact profession in Australia, so you can book directly with us. A GP referral only becomes relevant when the treatment is funded by Medicare, DVA or WorkCover rather than your private extras.
What if I have already used my annual physiotherapy limit?
You can still be treated — you simply pay the full fee for those visits with no rebate. Tell us if you are close to your limit and we will plan your treatment around it, which usually means spacing visits and giving you more to do at home between them.
Do waiting periods apply to physiotherapy?
Usually yes, on a new policy or after an upgrade. Extras waiting periods for physiotherapy are commonly two months, though this varies by fund and by policy. Your fund can tell you the exact date you become eligible.
Contacting Doctors' Health Fund
We can tell you our fee. Only Doctors' Health Fund can tell you your rebate, your remaining annual limit and whether any waiting period still applies — so if you want to know your exact out-of-pocket before you book, they are the ones to ask.
