About Our Physiotherapy Geelong Clinic

Q: How do I book an appointment at Physio Geelong Clinic?

You can book online through our website or call our reception team on 03 5200 1234 during clinic hours. Same-week appointments are available Monday through Saturday. No referral is required for standard physiotherapy appointments — you can self-refer directly.

Physio Geelong Clinic has been part of the greater Geelong community since 2018. We’re a team of AHPRA-registered physiotherapists who genuinely care about the outcomes we deliver not just the number of appointments booked. Our clinic was built around a straightforward philosophy: every patient deserves a thorough assessment, a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that makes sense for their life and their goals.

Our Mission: Expert Physiotherapy Care Across Greater Geelong

Our mission is to provide the highest standard of evidence-based physiotherapy to the people of greater Geelong from the inner suburbs of Newtown and Belmont to the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast. We believe accessible, high-quality physiotherapy care should not be reserved for elite athletes or those with comprehensive private health cover. That’s why we accept NDIS, Work Cover, TAC, DVA and Medicare CDM referrals, and why we work hard to offer same-week appointments so Geelong locals don’t have to suffer while waiting for help.

In our years serving Geelong patients, we’ve seen firsthand how early, effective physiotherapy intervention prevents conditions from becoming chronic. We advocate for proactive care helping you understand your body so you can manage your own health with confidence long after your physio sessions end.

Our Clinic — Purpose-Built for Your Recovery

Our clinic in central Geelong is designed to support every stage of your recovery journey. We have fully equipped treatment rooms for hands-on physiotherapy, a dedicated exercise rehabilitation space with strength and conditioning equipment, and reformer equipment for Clinical Pilates sessions. Everything you need for a complete physiotherapy and rehabilitation program is available under one roof, making it convenient for patients travelling from across the Geelong region.

Registered with NDIS, WorkCover, TAC & DVA

Physio Geelong Clinic holds registered provider status with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), WorkCover Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). We are also an approved provider for Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) referrals. This means that regardless of how you’re funding your care, we can support you through the administrative process and ensure treatment begins without unnecessary delays.

Our Approach to Evidence-Based Physiotherapy

Evidence-based practice is not a marketing phrase, it’s a commitment to using treatment methods that are supported by current clinical research. Our physiotherapists critically appraise new research, attend conferences and professional development events, and continuously refine their clinical skills. We don’t rely on passive treatments alone. Our approach combines hands-on therapy including manual therapy, dry needling and joint mobilisation with active rehabilitation, patient education and self-management strategies that empower you to take control of your own recovery.

Community Partnerships & Involvement in Geelong

We are proud supporters of sport and community health in the Geelong region. Our team provides physiotherapy support to local sports clubs and community organisations, and we actively participate in local health education initiatives. We understand that a healthy Geelong community from the school-aged athletes in Highton and Waurn Ponds to the retirees enjoying life along the Bellarine Peninsula is one where everyone has access to the care they need.

Our Values

Honesty: We give you accurate, evidence-based information — even when it’s not what you hoped to hear.
Thoroughness: Every patient receives a complete assessment. We don’t guess.
Empathy: We understand that living with pain or recovering from injury affects every part of your life.
Accountability: We measure outcomes, review your progress and adjust your plan when needed.
Accessibility: Quality physiotherapy should be available to every Geelong local, regardless of funding source or circumstance.
