Nurses & Midwives Health accepted — claim on the spot
Built for a workforce that carries people for a living.
UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats Nurses & Midwives 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 work is the reason most nursing and midwifery patients stop treatment early, not cost. Tell us your roster pattern and we will book around it rather than expecting you to fit around us.
Claiming your Nurses & Midwives Health rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your Nurses & Midwives 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 Nurses & Midwives Health extras handle physiotherapy
It was set up specifically for a workforce that spends its shifts lifting, transferring and standing — and that population has one of the highest rates of low back injury of any occupation in the country. Physiotherapy extras matter more here than in most member groups, and the cover reflects it.
The practical difficulty for nurses and midwives is rarely the cover; it is the roster. We hold appointments outside standard business hours at Seaton, which is usually the thing that decides whether a course of treatment gets finished.
Who Nurses & Midwives Health covers
Nurses & Midwives Health is a not-for-profit restricted fund for nurses, midwives, carers and their families, run by the same group as Teachers Health.
Nurses & Midwives Health is part of the Teachers Health 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.
Nurses & Midwives Health physiotherapy questions
Can I get an appointment around shift work?
Yes — that is exactly what our extended hours are for. Tell us your roster and we will book a recurring time that fits it rather than asking you to swap shifts.
Who is eligible for Nurses & Midwives Health?
It is a restricted fund for nurses, midwives, carers and their families. The fund can confirm eligibility; claiming at our clinic works exactly like any other card.
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 Nurses & Midwives Health
We can tell you our fee. Only Nurses & Midwives Health 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.
