Do I need a referral?
No, at Fortus Health Physiotherapy we see patients that do not have a referral from a GP. Many of our patients are referred from doctors and specialists in Brisbane but this is not essential.
WorkCover and CTP
If you were injured at work or in a motor vehicle accident and your claim is being managed by WorkCover, a private insurer or CTP (compulsory third party insurance) you will need a referral so that your costs are covered by your insurer.
