Physician vs Registrar:
An SEM Registrar is an advanced trainee progressing through the ACSEP fellowship pathway and consults under the direct supervision of our SEM Physicians. Choosing a registrar consultation reduces both the private fee and your out-of-pocket cost.
Higher rebate for complex care (items 132 & 133):
Patients who meet Medicare's complex-care criteria - broadly, those with at least two chronic or complex conditions requiring ongoing management - may qualify for MBS items 132 and 133 when seen by an SEM Physician. Where these clinical indications are met, the minimum rebate increases to $272.50(initial, item 132) and $136.45(review, item 133). Eligibility is determined at the consultation.

Important Information
Key things to know about referrals, rebates and billing before your appointment.
Referrals & Medicare Rebates
- A valid referral is required to claim the full specialist Medicare rebate.
- GP referrals are valid for 12 months; specialist referrals for 3 months, unless otherwise specified.
- You are welcome to attend without a referral; however, only a minimal Medicare rebate will be claimable.
- A new injury, condition or body region may require an updated referral and may be billed as a new Initial Consultation.
- Rebates listed on this page are minimums- once you reach the Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN) threshold for the calendar year, your rebate may be higher.
Fees & Payment
- Consultation fees are privately billed and payable on the day.
- Medicare rebates are processed on the day where eligible.
- Additional fees may apply for procedures, injections and extended consultations.
- Private health insurance generally does not cover specialist consultation fees outside hospital admission.
WorkCover, CTP & Third-Party
- Please do not book online- call the clinic to confirm approval first.
- We require claim details, insurer approval, referral documentation and pre-authorisation prior to your appointment.
- Cancellation and no-show fees do not apply; we simply keep your case manager updated on attendance as part of coordinating your care.
Updated Medicare Rebates
Our fees are effective from 01/07/26, with rebates indexed in accordance with sweeping changes to Medicare rebates to reduce patient out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. These changes follow Medicare's recognition of Sport & Exercise Medicine Physicians as Consultant Physicians, as announced by the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians.

First number applies to specialist medical appointments; second to allied health (Exercise Physiology & Dietetics).
Cancellation Policy
Specialist medical and allied health consultations are in high demand and difficult to fill at short notice. Adequate notice allows us to offer your appointment to a patient on our waitlist.
If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment, please either respond to your confirmation SMS or call the clinic within the relevant notice window:
SEM Physician & Registrar
Minimum notice required
At least two (2) business days'
notice prior to your appointment.
Exercise Physiology & Dietetics
Minimum notice required
At least one (1) business day's
notice prior to your appointment.
If this notice requirement is not met, a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the missed or cancelled consultation
may apply.
If a cancellation fee applies
- No further appointments will be made until the fee is settled.
- Any additional bookings already scheduled may be cancelled or placed on hold until the outstanding fee has been finalised.
WorkCover, CTP & third-party patients:
we don't charge cancellation fees, as your insurer isn't responsible for appointments that can't be attended. As part of coordinating your care, we keep your case manager updated on attendance, including any missed appointments or short-notice cancellations - this helps everyone keep your return-to-work plan and ongoing support on track. If something is making it hard to attend, please let us know so we can help.
SMS reminders are sent well in advance to provide as much time as reasonably possible to repurpose the consultation in the event you're unable to attend. We consider charging a cancellation fee a last resort - our motivation is to protect the quality of care we provide to you and to our other patients.
Late Arrival Policy
Late arrivals make it difficult for everyone - we maintain a relatively tight schedule and make every effort to begin your appointment at the time booked.
We understand that circumstances may arise unexpectedly. However, late arrivals tend to compromise the punctuality of service we are able to provide to you, as well as to our other patients.
If you arrive late, we reserve the right to reschedule or reduce the length of your consultation or procedure to ensure the next patient's appointment is not impacted. Rescheduled bookings may be subject to the relevant cancellation policy.
Running late?
Please call our administration team ahead of your appointment - alternative arrangements may be possible.
No Show Policy
For appointments missed without notice, a 50% fee will be applied. The required notice mirrors our cancellation policy above.
SEM Physician & Registrar
Minimum notice to avoid the fee
At least two (2) business days'
notice if unable to attend.
Exercise Physiology & Dietetics
Minimum notice to avoid the fee
At least one (1) business day's
notice if unable to attend.
WorkCover, CTP & third-party patients
are not charged a no-show fee. As part of coordinating your care, we keep your case manager updated on attendance - see our Cancellation Policy above.
We consider a no-show fee a last resort. Our motivation is the quality of service we provide to you and to our other valued patients - every unattended appointment represents a slot that could have been used by another patient on our waitlist.
