Oncologist, GP, Medical specialist, and Allied Health professionals can complete our Oncology specific E-Referral Form HERE

Private Clients:

• You do not need a referral to book in with Health Loop for an initial consultation. However, we will need to know who your current medical team is (GP, Medical Specialist, OT etc) so we can ensure we are aware of key medical information, there is continuity of care, and everyone is working together for your health needs.

• If you have Private health insurance, you may be eligible for rebates for Exercise Physiology under your policy. You will need to check with your health fund what Allied Health services are covered.

• Rebates can be provided at the time of your appointment, however a gap payment will usually be required depending on your level of cover.

Medicare:

• Your primary GP or practice nurse can create a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM) and/or Team Care Arrangement (TCA) as part of your cancer management.

• This means you can obtain a referral for Exercise Physiology services for up to 5 consultations covered by the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) from your GP.

• Due to our mobile service model there may be a gap payment required (pending your location) however you will receive a $56 rebate for each session.

We understand having a cancer diagnosis creates a lot of change and uncertainty. This includes employment status, and how individuals go about either maintaining their workload, or returning to work in some capacity.

Health Loop is experienced in occupational health and return to work programs; We can work with individuals to provide individualised support, evidence-based rehabilitation, and wellbeing education to help better manage health and functional capacity during this time.

Individuals & Private Referrals

• We offer work-specific functional programs which are always tailored to your needs.

• Exercise medicine programs in conjunction with your multidisciplinary team can assist in maintaining employment during treatment, creating a graduated plan to re-enter the workforce once you are ready, or your cancer therapy is coming to an end and you aren’t sure if you can return to your previous employment in the same capacity.

• Once we receive referral information and your medical history we can plan a suitable return to work conditioning program together.

• We identify your vocational goals during a comprehensive initial consultation via our mobile service delivery. This could be at your home, a gym or hydrotherapy centre, or even your current workplace.

Life Insurance Claims

• We have extensive clinical experience working within the Personal Injury industry. We understand the vast requirements of effectively providing individualised and outcome focused work conditioning programs for our clients covered by Income Protection (IP), or Total Permanent Disability (TPD) claims through their Life Insurer following a cancer diagnosis.

• We understand there is specific communication and service requirements when referring for individualised work conditioning and rehabilitation programs.

• Every claim is different, so if you are sending through a referral, please contact us to discuss specific communication requirements, service agreements, and implementation plans.

• You can also complete our secure E-Referral HERE

• Please note, referrals under this service offering need to be initiated from a Life Insurer

Vocational Rehabilitation Providers

• With a client-centred and multidisciplinary approach we enjoy working closely with Vocational Rehab Providers, and highly value the incredible work, support, and guidance throughout the claim.

• Our cancer conditioning programs aim to align with the rehabilitation and vocational goals of our mutual client, and we understand the importance of providing regular communication as needed.

• Please get in touch if you are working within this space, and have a client that requires our Exercise Physiology services for return to work support.

We love to work with the occupational medicine and vocational rehabilitation industry, and believe exercise plays a vital role within the oncology space in assisting individuals to maintain or return to work.

Reach out on 0400 766 890, or email hello@healthloop.com.au if you are interested in utilising our Exercise Physiology services for return to work support in any capacity.

If you have recently been hospitalised during treatment and/or surgery, or been engaging in a hospital allied health outpatient clinic, we can assist with a graduated transition from rehabilitation within the primary care setting to your home or local facility with our individualised community-based exercise programs.

We understand the importance of a multifaceted approach to transitions of care. Health Loop can provide the continuity of care needed to ensure a safe and convenient service is provided for you, or your clients.
