Does Medicare cover Physio in Australia?

Are you wondering does Medicare cover Physio? Well, the short answer for most people is no. Medicare does not cover Physio in private practice in Australia for acute pain, back injuries, sporting injuries etc. However, if you’re thinking, does Medicare cover Physio if you are admitted through a public hospital and the emergency department for an injury? The answer here is yes, most hospitals have an outpatient department responsible for follow up care once you get home.
