FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get from Runaway Bay to the clinic?
Five to ten minutes by car along Oxley Drive, depending which end of Runaway Bay you’re coming from. There’s free parking on Grice Avenue right out the front.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed. You can book online and choose whichever practitioner and time suits.
Who will I see?
One of our three acupuncturists, Conor, Sharni or Rachel. You can read about each of them on our practitioners page and pick when you book.
How long is the initial consultation?
The initial consultation runs for around an hour. We take a full health history, not just the main reason you’ve booked, but sleep, digestion, stress levels, cycle patterns, and anything else that gives us a picture of how things are sitting for you overall.
How often will I need to come?
For acute conditions, such as a recent injury or illness, more frequent treatments may be necessary initially, such as one to two times per week for a few weeks. Chronic conditions, such as ongoing pain or stress, may require regular weekly or bi-weekly treatments for an extended period. We’ll work out a plan with you based on how you respond.
Does private health cover acupuncture?
If you have a private health plan that covers acupuncture you can claim a portion of your consult back. We have a HICAPS terminal in the clinic so you can claim on the spot.
