177 Trimmer Parade, Seaton SA 5023Physiotherapy for Westfund Members in Seaton
Westfund accepted — claim on the spot
A regional fund with national cover, claimed here at reception.
UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats Westfund 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.
Members who have moved to South Australia sometimes assume their cover has stopped being useful. It hasn't — extras cover is national, and we claim it at reception in the usual way.
Claiming your Westfund rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your Westfund 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 Westfund extras handle physiotherapy
Westfund runs its own dental and eyecare centres in regional New South Wales and Queensland, but its extras cover for physiotherapy works nationally at any registered practitioner — you are not restricted to a Westfund location.
Physiotherapy benefits follow the extras tier you hold, with a benefit per consultation and an annual limit. Westfund's member portal shows both.
Who Westfund covers
Westfund is a not-for-profit fund founded in the New South Wales coalfields in 1954 and now open to everyone across Australia.
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.
Westfund physiotherapy questions
Does Westfund cover work in South Australia?
Yes. Westfund extras cover applies nationally at any registered physiotherapist, and we process the claim on the spot.
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 Westfund
We can tell you our fee. Only Westfund 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.
