Questions before a visit

The practical things should be easy to find.

I am new. Who can I book with?

Garth is currently welcoming new chiropractic patients, and Bridgette is welcoming new acupuncture patients. Current appointment options are shown during online booking. Contact reception if you are unsure which appointment to choose.

Do I need to know which modality I want?

No. Start with what you are experiencing or curious about. Reception can explain appointment types and practitioner availability; a practitioner can discuss whether their scope and approach are suitable for your needs.

Where will I see appointment fees?

Relevant fees are shown within the online booking experience before you confirm an appointment. The editorial website does not publish a separate fee table.

Can I claim through private health?

Eligibility and rebates vary by service, practitioner and policy. Check with your fund and ask reception which appointment types can be claimed.

Do you offer DVA appointments?

Yes. Conscious Bodywork welcomes eligible Veteran Card holders for chiropractic appointments. A valid referral is generally required, and coverage depends on your card and accepted conditions. Contact reception before booking so we can confirm the paperwork and appointment type.

Can I use a Medicare chronic condition plan?

If your GP includes chiropractic care in a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate toward eligible appointments. A gap may apply. Ask your GP about eligibility and bring your referral to the clinic.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing that allows natural movement is generally useful. If a particular appointment has different requirements, reception can let you know beforehand.

Can I pause or decline part of a session?

Yes. Consent is ongoing. You can ask questions, request an alternative, pause or stop at any point.

What if I am not sure this is the right kind of care?

Call or email reception and describe the kind of appointment you are considering. For urgent, severe or rapidly changing symptoms, seek timely assessment through an appropriate medical or emergency service.
