Questions
DVA EP questions
DVA Exercise Physiology referrals usually come from a GP. Send the referral details you have and Avanti confirms whether anything else is needed.
DVA referrals run in treatment cycles. Avanti can explain how the cycle applies to you and what the renewal step looks like once your referral details are checked.
That depends on your card type, referral and the service. Tell Avanti what you have and the team explains any costs up front.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
