How much does a chiropractor cost in Sydney?
In October 2026 we reviewed the published fees of chiropractic clinics across the Sydney CBD and surrounds.
First visits ranged from $95 to $220. Some clinics then charge a second, extended visit, such as a report of findings, from $70 to $120.
Standard follow-up visits ranged from $70 to $90. At Sydney Spinal Care in Maroubra, your first visit, including treatment, is $99, there is no separate second visit fee, and follow-up visits are only $70.
Why does the first chiropractic visit cost more?
Your $99 first visit with Dr Matthew Alch (Chiropractor) takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It includes a full consultation, health history, postural and spinal examination, muscle, orthopaedic and neurological testing, and gait analysis. If chiropractic suits you, your first adjustment is usually given on the same day and isn’t charged separately. Follow-up visits are $70.
Does health insurance cover chiropractic treatment?
Yes, if your private health insurance extras cover includes chiropractic
Check with your health fund to see how much you can claim per visit. You can claim on the spot at our clinic with HICAPS.

What is HICAPS
HICAPS stands for Health Industry Claims and Payments Service. It is an electronic health claims system that allows health fund members to claim on the spot in our clinic. You can benefit by receiving instant, same day rebates.
Do I need a referral from my GP to see a chiropractor?
No, you do not need a referral from your GP or medical clinic to see a chiropractor. That’s because chiropractors in Australia are primary contact, primary healthcare practitioners.
However, if you’re eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, your GP can refer you for up to 5 subsidised visits per calendar year.
