WHAT WE TREAT
Medicare CDM conditions we see from Cornubia

Persistent musculoskeletal pain — graded exposure, exercise rehab and pain education across the 5 funded sessions.
Osteoarthritis (CDM)
Knee, hip and back OA managed with progressive strength training under your GP Chronic Disease plan.
Diabetes-related conditions
Diabetic neuropathy, mobility decline and exercise prescription for type 2 diabetes management.

COPD & respiratory
Exercise prescription, pacing strategies and physiotherapy for chronic respiratory conditions.
Healthy ageing under CDM
Strength, balance and conditioning for patients on a chronic disease care plan.
OUR APPROACH
5 sessions, real progress
A 5-visit Medicare CDM allocation isn’t a lot — so every session has to move the needle. We use the first appointment to build the assessment and the program, then the remaining 4 to load, progress and review against measurable goals. You leave the 5 visits with a self-manageable program, not a dependence on more sessions.
FUNDING PATHWAYS
How to pay for Medicare CDM physiotherapy
Medicare CDM rebate
Medicare rebates a fixed amount per Allied Health visit under a Chronic Disease Management plan. You pay the gap to the consult fee.
How to qualify
You need a GP-issued CDM plan (form previously known as GPMP/TCA, now CDM). Your GP confirms a chronic condition and writes a referral for physiotherapy.
5 visits per year
Across allied health (physio, podiatry, dietetics combined) — not 5 of each. Most patients prioritise physiotherapy.
Outside the 5 visits
After your CDM allocation we continue under private fee or HICAPS-claimable private health rebate. No gap in care.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ — Medicare CDM physio for Cornubia residents
Do I need the actual CDM form in writing?
Yes — your GP needs to write the CDM referral. Bring the referral plus the patient copy of the plan to the first visit.
What happens after my 5 visits?
We continue under private fee or HICAPS-claimable through your private health fund — same physiotherapist, same plan, just a different funding pathway.
How long does it take to get from Cornubia to your clinic?
Around 8–10 minutes by car via Bryants Road and the Pacific Motorway. Free off-street parking at the clinic, ground-floor entry and wheelchair access.
Do you have other patients from Cornubia?
Yes — we see a steady flow of Cornubia residents at the Daisy Hill clinic across Bryants Road, Bay Road, Beenleigh-Redland Bay Road and the Cornubia Park area. Many Medicare CDM patients first hear about us through their GP, support coordinator, or another Cornubia family.
Can I claim through private health fund?
Yes — HICAPS on the spot for most major Australian health funds. You only pay the gap.
