What to expect
Initial Appointment
Your initial hand physio appointment may take between 30-60 minutes, depending on your therapist and the nature of the treatment required. During this appointment we will find out more about you as an individual and how your life is impacted by your injury and/or impairment. From that we will discuss a treatment plan and aim to provide the first step of that treatment.
Follow Up Appointments
Your following hand physio appointments will vary in frequency and time according to your injury and treatment plan.
ACC & Documentation
Completing ACC Documentation: All required ACC documentation can be filled out at Hand Rehab on your first appointment. For simple injury incidents, ACC can usually inform you if your claim is accepted or not within 2 weeks. For more complex injuries / injury incidents, ACC may take longer to assess the circumstances of your injury claim.
Any Other ACC Forms or Documentation: If you have already contacted ACC and have any forms or documentation relevant to your current injury, please bring these ACC forms or documents along with you on your first visit.

If you cancel within 24 hours of an appointment, or do not show up, a fee equivalent to the standard ACC co-payment or the full private fee will be charged.
