At First Steps Physiotherapy WA, we are passionate about working with your family to help your child achieve their goals. Our evidence-based approach to physiotherapy focuses on family-centred practice. We understand that your child grows up in the context of their family and wider community network. We will work with your family to determine what is important to you and develop a treatment plan that works for you.
As a mobile therapy provider, we can offer both home-based or community-based therapy sessions. So if your child needs help at school, in the playground or at the local pool, we can help your child reach their full potential.
You are able to access our physiotherapy services without a referral from your GP.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for the following financial assistance to cover part of the cost of physiotherapy services.
We work with families who self-manage their child's NDIS funding or have support from an NDIS plan manager.
Your child may be eligible for a Medicare rebate through a Chronic Disease Management Plan. This will be confirmed by your GP.
Private Health Funds
Your child may be eligible for a rebate depending on your level of cover and provider. Consult your provider to confirm your eligibility.
