What are your appointment fees?
Initial Consultation: $150

If you have private health insurance with osteopathy extras, we can process your rebate in the clinic at the time of your appointment (depending on your fund and level of cover)
Do you treat babies and children? What ages do you treat?
Yes. Rachel has extensive experience working with infants, children, and teenagers.
We welcome people of all ages at RG Osteopathy. Babies can attend from newborn stage, and we continue to support children as they grow through toddlerhood, early childhood, school-aged years, and the teenage years.
We do not use any cracking techniques or sudden movements when treating babies or children. All treatment is very gentle and carefully adjusted to suit their age, stage of development, comfort, and individual needs.
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath?
No referral is required. However, referrals from GPs or other health professionals are welcome.
Do you accept GP Management Plans under Medicare?
Yes we accept Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plans, previously known as Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plans.
These plans are arranged through your GP. If you have been referred under a CDM plan, please bring the referral paperwork with you so we can process your Medicare rebate.
At Rachel Gordge Osteopathy, a gap fee applies. Full payment is made at the time of your appointment, and we process the Medicare rebate in clinic.
Do I need to remove my clothing for treatment?
No you do not need to take your clothes off for osteopathic treatment.
Most sessions can be completed with you fully clothed in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for movement.
If any specific area needs to be seen more clearly Rachel will always discuss this with you first and only proceed with your full consent. Towels can also be used for coverage if needed.
You are welcome to wear whatever helps you feel most comfortable and relaxed.
What is the difference between Osteopathy and Physiotherapy?
Both treat musculoskeletal issues, but osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, focusing on how the body’s structure affects its function.
