Do I need a GP referral to see a physio from Crookwell?

No — you can book physiotherapy directly without a GP referral. A referral is only needed if you're claiming under a specific scheme like DVA or a WorkCover plan that requires one.

Can I keep up a program if I can only get in occasionally?

Yes. Given the 40-minute drive, we build home programs designed to hold progress between visits, with fewer, more spaced-out appointments than we'd set for someone living close to Goulburn. That way consistency doesn't depend on how often you can make the trip in.

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 Crookwell residents.

Crookwell Road covers the 46 kilometres between town and our Goulburn clinic in around 40 minutes — a trip Crookwell locals plan around, not squeeze in. Farming and grazing work here means recurring strain: backs from fencing and lambing, shoulders from repetitive lifting, knees that have carried decades of paddock work on uneven ground.

Cold tableland winters don't help ageing joints either. We see a good number of older Crookwell residents managing stiffness and reduced mobility who want a clear plan rather than a fresh referral every time symptoms flare.

Because the drive is real — not a quick errand — we aim to make each visit count: a full diagnosis, hands-on treatment, and exercises you can keep doing at home between trips in from Crookwell, Kingsdale, Taralga or Mummel, so distance doesn't undo the progress.

Getting here

The drive in from Crookwell.

Crookwell sits north-west of Goulburn, about 46 km from the clinic and roughly 40 minutes away via Crookwell Road. 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.
