Get your claim number If you haven’t lodged a claim yet, you can do it online with the TAC or by calling them on 1300 654 329. Your claim number is what lets us bill them for your physio. ### 2. Book with Riley Book online or call the clinic, and tell us it’s a TAC claim. Bring your claim number to your first appointment, along with any scans or hospital paperwork you have. ### 3. Your first appointment Riley assesses your injuries, explains what’s going on in plain English, and starts treatment on the day. You leave with a plan and a clear idea of how long recovery is likely to take. ### 4. After the first 90 days If you still need physio past 90 days, Riley sends the TAC a treatment plan so they can approve more sessions. We handle that paperwork, so you can get on with your recovery. Your physio## Meet Riley, your TAC physio in Kensington ### Riley Lock Physiotherapist Riley completed his Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne and is certified in Clinical Pilates. After an accident he works out what’s hurt and why it’s still hurting, then builds your strength back step by step, so you can get back to driving, work and the things you enjoy. [Read more about Riley →](https://www.allforone.com.au/physiotherapist-kensington-riley-lock/) What we treat## Car accident injuries Riley treats Most people come to us with one or more of these after an accident: - Whiplash and neck pain - Lower and upper back pain - Shoulder and chest pain, including from a seatbelt - Knee, hip and ankle injuries - Recovery after a fracture or surgery - Headaches that started with a neck injury - Getting back to driving, work and sport - Rebuilding strength and confidence after time off Not sure whether physio is the right place to start? Call the clinic and Riley will tell you whether he can help. Where you recover## Rehab in a gym, a pool or at home ### In the gym Our clinic is upstairs at KCARC, so your rehab happens on a real gym floor. Riley can watch how you lift and step, and build your program around the things you need to get back to. ### In the pool When moving on land still hurts too much, part of your rehab can happen in KCARC’s heated program pool, which you can walk into down a ramp, and the TAC funds aquatic physio as well. ### At home If getting to Kensington is hard after your accident, Riley can come to you. Ask about home visits when you call the clinic. Close to home## TAC physio for Flemington, North Melbourne, Ascot Vale and Docklands Flemington is about five minutes away by car, and Docklands and Moonee Ponds are about ten. On the train, Kensington station is the next stop after North Melbourne on the Craigieburn line, and two before Ascot Vale. West Melbourne is a short drive too. Practical bits## Before your first TAC appointment - Bring your TAC claim number - Bring any scans, hospital discharge papers or letters from your GP - Wear clothes you can move in - Level 1, KCARC, 99 Altona Street, with on-site parking and a lift - Open seven days, and no GP referral needed FAQ## TAC physio in Kensington, your questions answered Do I need a referral for TAC physio?No, you don’t need a GP referral. In the first 90 days after your accident, the TAC pays for physio without approving it first, as long as you have a claim number and the treatment is for your accident injuries. Will I have to pay anything?No. We charge the TAC rate and bill the TAC directly, so there’s no gap for you to pay. What if I don’t have a claim number yet?Lodge your claim with the TAC first, online or on 1300 654 329. You can still book with us while you wait. Until you have a claim number we can’t bill the TAC, so you would pay for that visit and claim it back from the TAC once your claim is accepted. How many sessions will the TAC pay for?The TAC pays for the physio you need in the first 90 days without approval. After that, Riley sends them a treatment plan and they approve further sessions. If more than six months pass without any TAC-paid treatment, approval is needed again. We look after the paperwork in both cases. Can I have physio at home or in the pool?Yes. Riley does home visits if getting to the clinic is hard, and part of your rehab can happen in the heated program pool at KCARC, so ask about either when you call. Where are you, and is it easy to get to?Our [Kensington clinic](https://www.allforone.com.au/physiotherapy-clinic-kensington/) is on Level 1 at KCARC, 99 Altona Street.
