Is telehealth an option given the distance from Windellama?

For reviewing progress or adjusting a home program, yes. The first assessment needs to be in person so we can properly diagnose the injury, but follow-ups can sometimes be done by phone or video.

How often will I need to come in from Windellama?

Given the 58-minute drive, we typically space appointments further apart than we would for someone closer, backed by a solid home program so progress holds between visits, with reviews timed to when they're actually needed.

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 Windellama residents.

Windellama Road makes the trip in from Windellama one of the longer ones we see — about 64 kilometres and 58 minutes for a genuinely remote farming community south of Goulburn. Nobody here drives in on a whim, so when Windellama residents do come in, we make the visit count.

Farm work over decades takes a toll on backs, shoulders and knees, and self-reliant households often push through pain longer than most before booking in. That usually means we're not just treating a fresh strain but unpicking a pattern that's been building for a while.

We diagnose properly on day one and build a home program designed to carry you between visits, since a 58-minute drive isn't something to repeat every week. Families from Windellama, Tarago, Bungonia and Quialigo all face a similar trip, and we plan appointments accordingly.

Windellama sits south of Goulburn, about 64 km from the clinic and roughly 58 minutes away via Windellama 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.

What we treat

What Windellama 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.
