For Allied Health Professionals
Allied Health Professionals
Dr Rao works very closely with all forms of allied health professionals within the Newcastle and Hunter region, he works closely with physiotherapists, podiatrists, remedial masseurs, and chiropractors. He runs regular clinics for which he takes referrals from local allied health professionals.
If you have been referred to me by a local allied health professional, please ask that the therapist contact my rooms directly, either via phone or email, and forward a referral. If convenient Dr Rao is happy to organise a video consultation with your therapist. In particular, he is happy to do this with patients from outside the Newcastle and Hunter region.
You will also require a referral from your GP prior to your consultation, otherwise you will not receive a rebate from Medicare.
