177 Trimmer Parade, Seaton SA 5023Physiotherapy for Teachers Health Members in Seaton
Teachers Health accepted — claim on the spot
Member-owned cover for education staff, claimed at reception.
UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats Teachers 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.
Being a restricted fund, membership is tied to working in education, but the claiming process is identical to any other card: we swipe it at reception and you pay the gap.
Claiming your Teachers Health rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your Teachers 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.

Fees are current at the date of publication and may change. Your rebate depends on your level of extras cover, your annual limit and any waiting periods, so the gap you pay is set by your fund, not by us. Your fund can confirm your exact rebate before you attend.
New patients can also use our initial consultation offer — terms are on that page.
How Teachers Health extras handle physiotherapy
Teachers Health has been member-owned since 1954 and returns surplus to benefits rather than shareholders, which tends to show in extras limits. Physiotherapy sits within extras, with a benefit per consultation and an annual limit set by your tier.
Teaching is harder on the body than it looks — long days standing, carrying, and bending to child height — and neck, low back and shoulder complaints are common in the education staff we see. Those respond well to treatment combined with changes to how you set up your day.
Who Teachers Health covers
Teachers Health is a not-for-profit restricted fund for people who work in education — teachers, education support staff, university staff and their families. It also runs Nurses & Midwives Health and UniHealth as separate brands.
Nurses & Midwives Health and UniHealth are part of the same group — see our Nurses & Midwives Health page if that is your card.
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.
Teachers Health physiotherapy questions
Who is eligible for Teachers Health?
It is a restricted fund for people working in education and their families. Teachers Health can confirm eligibility, and your card works normally at any registered physiotherapist.
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 Teachers Health
We can tell you our fee. Only Teachers 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.
Visit the Teachers Health websiteTeachers Federation Health Ltd. UpPlus Physiotherapy is an independent practice and is not owned by or acting as an agent for any health fund.
Book with your Teachers Health cover
