177 Trimmer Parade, Seaton SA 5023Physiotherapy for Emergency Services Health Members in Seaton
Emergency Services Health accepted — claim on the spot
One comprehensive level of cover for the emergency services community.
UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats Emergency Services Health 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.
Shift patterns are usually the obstacle to finishing a course of treatment, not cost. Our extended hours at Seaton exist for exactly that reason.
Claiming your Emergency Services Health rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your Emergency Services Health 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.

How Emergency Services Health extras handle physiotherapy
Like Police Health, it offers a single comprehensive level of cover rather than a ladder of tiers, so physiotherapy benefits are consistent across the membership and there is no tier to work out before you book. An annual limit still applies.
Emergency services work carries the same physical load as policing — lifting under pressure, awkward positions, long shifts — and the injuries we see follow that pattern: low backs, shoulders and knees.
Who Emergency Services Health covers
Emergency Services Health is a not-for-profit restricted fund for the emergency services community — ambulance, fire, SES and related services, along with their families. It is run by Police Health.
Emergency Services Health is run by Police Health — see our Police Health page.
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.
Emergency Services Health physiotherapy questions
Is Emergency Services Health the same as Police Health?
It is run by Police Health for the wider emergency services community, with the same single-level cover approach. Claiming works identically at our clinic.
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.
Book with your Emergency Services Health cover
No referral needed. We claim at reception, so you pay only the gap.
