What to wear

Loose fitted comfortable clothing

As part of the initial assessment, an ultrasound examination will be performed of the entire limb that is affected by spasticity, so we ask that you wear loose fitted clothing to the clinic for your comfort and convenience. This will also be required for any procedures should you decide on proceeding with botulinum toxin injections.

Referrals

Referrals are required to access Medicare funding

Even though this is a private medical practice, private health insurance is not required. Medicare funding is available if you have a Medicare card and a referral from your doctor. If you have not yet organised your referral, please do this as soon as possible. Further information about the referral process is available here.

Spasticity Screening Tool

A survey for measuring response to treatment

If you choose to undergo treatment, you will be asked to complete this survey before the initial treatment and then 4-6 weeks after your treatment. It is a series of up to 13 questions and wherever possible should be completed by the patient. You can download the survey here.
