Is Carrick close enough to see a physio early, before an injury gets worse?

Yes — at about 18 minutes via the Hume Motorway, it's an easy enough trip that we'd encourage booking in as soon as something feels off, rather than waiting until it's had months to become a bigger problem.

What funding pathway suits a grazing injury from Carrick?

If it happened during paid farm work, WorkCover may apply. Otherwise, Medicare (with an eligible GP plan) or private health extras are the usual pathways, and we can help you work out which one fits your situation.

Do I need a GP referral to see a physio?

No. You can book physiotherapy directly as a private patient. A referral is only needed for the funded pathways — a GP Chronic Disease Management plan for a Medicare rebate, or the relevant paperwork for WorkCover, CTP, DVA, or NDIS. Bring any referral or plan you already have and we'll sort the billing at our end.

What should I bring to a first physio appointment?

Any scans or imaging you've had, a list of your medications, any referral or funding paperwork, and clothing you can move in. Most of all, come ready to describe how it started, what makes it worse, and what you need to get back to — that history shapes the assessment more than anything.

Local care

Physiotherapy for Carrick residents.

Grazing and rural families make up the backbone of Carrick, a close-in district about 20 kilometres and 18 minutes from our Goulburn clinic via the Hume Motorway. Farming properties here bring the familiar pattern of strain: backs from fencing and lifting, shoulders worn down over years of repetitive work.

Because Carrick sits this close to town, physio doesn't need to be reserved for serious injuries. We regularly see patients early, before a niggle has had months to settle in, which generally makes treatment more straightforward.

We diagnose the issue properly on the first visit and build a plan around it, whether that's a short course of treatment for a fresh strain or an ongoing program for ageing joints. Carrick residents, and neighbours from Towrang, Greenwich Park and Boxers Creek, are all well placed for regular check-ins rather than one-off visits.

Getting here

The drive in from Carrick.

Carrick sits north-east of Goulburn, about 20 km from the clinic and roughly 18 minutes away via the Hume Motorway. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.

What we treat

What Carrick patients see us for.

A physiotherapist is usually the right first stop for pain, injury, and how the body moves — before scans, injections, or surgery for anything that isn't an emergency. Our physios are AHPRA-registered and treat everything from fresh strains to long rehab after surgery, with a diagnosis and a written plan on day one.
