CTP & Car Accident Physiotherapy in Prestons
If you have been hurt in a motor vehicle accident in NSW, you may be entitled to physiotherapy through the CTP (Compulsory Third Party / green slip) scheme — often with no out-of-pocket cost. Our Prestons team treats car-accident injuries like whiplash, neck and back pain, and helps you navigate the claim so you can focus on recovering.
Treatment for car accident injuries
Motor vehicle accidents commonly cause whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder and knee injuries, and soft-tissue strains that can linger for months if left untreated. Early, structured rehabilitation gives you the best chance of a full recovery and helps prevent ongoing pain.
We assess your injuries thoroughly and build a hands-on treatment and exercise program — combining manual therapy, dry needling, graded exercise and education — to restore movement, reduce pain and get you back to work and daily life.
How CTP physiotherapy claims work in NSW
Under the NSW Motor Accident Injuries Act, people injured in a car accident can usually access treatment and care through the at-fault vehicle’s CTP insurer — in many cases regardless of who was at fault, provided you lodge a claim within the required timeframes.
You don’t need a GP referral to start physiotherapy. Once you have lodged your claim and have a claim number, we can liaise with your insurer, provide the required treatment plans and reports, and bill the insurer directly where approved — so you can get on with recovering.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for CTP physiotherapy?
In most cases, treatment for car-accident injuries is covered by the CTP (green slip) insurer once your claim is accepted, so there is often no out-of-pocket cost to you. We can bill the insurer directly where treatment is approved.
Do I need a referral or a claim number to start?
You don’t need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist. To have treatment funded under CTP you’ll need to lodge a claim with the relevant insurer and obtain a claim number — we can start your assessment and guide you through the process.
How soon after the accident should I start physio?
As soon as you can. Starting rehabilitation early generally leads to better outcomes and helps prevent injuries like whiplash from becoming long-term problems. Contact us and we’ll get you in quickly, seven days a week.
