❌ Instead of this
The Emergency Department
4–8 hour waits. Triage nurses who haven't played a sport since high school. Walk out with a tensor bandage and "see a GP Monday."
❌ Instead of this
Waiting Until Monday
48+ hours of uncertainty. Swelling sets in. You don't know if you can train Tuesday. You've already missed the best window for early management.
✓ This is what you do

Private health insurance and sports insurance both cover this.
Most club sports athletes have sports insurance through their association. Combined with private health, the out-of-pocket is minimal — and often zero. We'll help you understand your position at the time of consultation.
🏥
Private Health Insurance — HICAPS on the day. Most extras cover physio and osteo.
⚽
Club / Association Sports Insurance — AFL, netball, rugby, soccer, BJJ and combat sports all have injury insurance coverage. Ask your club.
💳
No insurance? The $239 fixed fee is still significantly less than most out-of-pocket ED costs — and you leave with a real plan, same morning.
