No chiropractic clinics in NT met the published-claim bar on 2026-07-07. Community health centres, public outpatient clinics, and care-plan telehealth sessions (Medicare items 93000 and 93013) are the practical alternatives, and it is always worth asking a local clinic directly.

The care plan comes first

Every bulk-billing claim on this page depends on Medicare's chronic condition management pathway: a chronic condition of 6 months or more with complex care needs, a plan prepared by your regular GP, and up to 5 rebated allied health sessions per calendar year shared across professions. If you do not have a regular GP, a NewDoc telehealth GP can become your regular GP, assess eligibility, and prepare the plan with you in a bulk billed video consult, then refer you to any NT provider you choose, including any clinic listed above.

Profession guides: physio, podiatry, dietitians, chiropractic.

Need the care plan first?

A NewDoc GP can assess your eligibility and prepare the plan with you. Bulk billed: $0 if you are Medicare eligible.

Frequently asked questions

Are there bulk billing physios, podiatrists, dietitians or other allied health clinics in Northern Territory?

As of 2026-07-07, this page lists 4 clinics in Northern Territory whose own websites state that they bulk bill Medicare care-plan sessions. Most attach conditions, commonly a valid care plan referral and sometimes a concession card, so always confirm when booking.

Do I need a care plan before booking one of these clinics?

Yes. Every listing's bulk-billing claim is tied to Medicare's care plan pathway: a GP chronic condition management plan for a chronic condition (6 months or more) with complex care needs, prepared by your regular GP. Without a current plan and referral, the same clinics charge their normal private fees.

What conditions do these clinics attach to bulk billing?

Each listing shows the conditions from the clinic's own website. The common ones: a valid care plan (CDM, EPC or GPCCMP) referral, a concession or pension card, specific practitioners or weekday time slots, and the Medicare cap of 5 rebated allied health sessions per calendar year shared across professions.

What if no listed clinic is near me in NT?

Three options. Community health centres and public hospital outpatient clinics offer low-cost or free allied health in most regions, with priority for concession card holders. Medicare telehealth items (93000 video, 93013 phone) let care-plan sessions run by telehealth with providers anywhere in Australia, counted within the same 5 sessions. And any private clinic can be asked directly: some bulk bill case by case even without advertising it.

How current is this list?

Every claim was read on the provider's own website and the source link verified live on 2026-07-07. Clinics change billing policies without notice, several clinics in NT that once bulk billed no longer do, so treat this list as a starting point and confirm billing when you book.

Billing statements are quoted from each provider's own website as at the date shown and may change without notice. NewDoc is not affiliated with any listed clinic, receives nothing for listings, and does not verify day-to-day billing practice: always confirm bulk billing and any conditions when you book. Rebates require a valid care plan referral and are subject to Medicare eligibility rules.
