How Can WHAM Assist DVA Clients?

You will require a referral from your Doctor to access therapies regardless of your card colour, so speak with your GP today about whether your injury/diagnosis qualifies for additional therapeutic support.
Workers Compensation
How Can WHAM Assist You With Your Return to Work?
If you have been injured at work and require Exercise Physiology services, we can assist you.
You will need a referral from your doctor or insurance case manager in order to begin treatment.
Dietitians also have a role within the Workers compensation scheme, though also will require a referral to commence treatment.
Private Payers
How Can WHAM Help You?
Exercise Physiology and Dietetics are available for people who would simply like to lead a healthier life and want support to do this.
Doctor referrals are not required to access us, however, this does mean the full cost of the appointment is payable by you.
We do also hope for you to know that if you have any medical conditions that place you as high risk, a medical clearance may be requested by us from your doctor before commencing with therapies.
