Hand Therapist’s are Occupational Therapists or Physiotherapists who have undergone extensive training in the management and rehabilitation of upper limb conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.

Hand Therapists can treat injuries, conditions and surgical repairs of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. These include fractures, dislocations, overuse/tendonitis, wrist rehabilitation, nerve injuries and wound/scar management.

Hand Therapists can typically see patients within the first three to five days following surgery or injury. These appointments generally include removing surgery dressings (as directed by your referring surgeon or doctor), fabricating splints, swelling and wound management, and moving unaffected joints.

A referral is essential for those clients claiming through a compensable body (e.g TAC, WC, EPC, DVA). We encourage all clients to bring any relevant scans and documentation to your appointment.

Hand therapy is not covered by Medicare. If your GP has submitted a Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC), a rebate is available for up to 5 sessions per calander year. If eligible, you are required to pay upfront for the consultation and then claim your rebate through Medicare.
