Is a 26-minute drive worth it for physiotherapy?

Most patients find it is — a proper diagnosis and a written plan on day one means fewer wasted trips overall. At 30 kilometres via the Hume Motorway, many Marulan patients time appointments around freight or quarry shift changes.

Does WorkCover cover physio for a quarry or freight injury?

Yes. If your injury happened on the job, WorkCover is a funding pathway we work with directly, alongside Medicare, private health cover, CTP, DVA and NDIS, depending on how the injury occurred.

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 Marulan residents.

Marulan sits on the Hume Motorway, about 26 minutes and 30 kilometres from our Goulburn clinic — close enough for quarry and freight workers to fit an appointment around shift changes. Lifting, reversing into loading bays, and long hours in a cab all load up the lower back and shoulders in ways that don't show up until the strain has been building for weeks.

The town's growing mix of young commuter families brings a different pattern: toddlers on hips, prams over gravel, and the odd sporting knock from weekend junior footy. We assess the injury, explain what's actually happening, and set a plan you can follow between trips in from Marulan, Tallong, Bungonia or Towrang.

Whether it's a freight worker's aching back or a child's rolled ankle, a same-week diagnosis beats guessing for another fortnight.

Getting here

The drive in from Marulan.

Marulan sits north-east of Goulburn, about 30 km from the clinic and roughly 26 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 Marulan 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.
