However, appointments for our Sports and Exercise Consultants and Orthopaedic Surgeons will require a GP referral. All other allied health services can be accessed without referral, however if you have any correspondence from a GP or another healthcare provider, please bring it along as it may assist in tailoring your care.

What do Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) doctors treat?

SEM doctors specialise in treating sports injuries and medical conditions affecting active individuals. They manage muscle, ligament, tendon, and bone injuries, as well as chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes that impact performance. They also help prevent injuries, diagnose unexplained symptoms (e.g., exercise-induced asthma, cardiac issues), and support elite athletes in optimising their performance.

What is the difference between a Sports and Exercise Medicine Consultant and a Registrar?

The key difference between a Sports and Exercise Medicine Consultant and a Registrar lies in their level of training and experience. A Consultant is fully qualified specialist in Sports and Exercise Medicine, has completed all training and passed specialist exams to become Fellowship-certified with the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians – ACSEP in Australia). A Registrar is a qualified doctor who has a medical degree and is currently undergoing specialist training with the ACSEP.

Do your Sports and Exercise Medicine Doctors give injections?

The doctors at Perform have specialist training and experience in the treatment of a wide range of conditions that may require injection therapy. Procedures including the use of Cortisone, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Viscosupplementation can be performed onsite during your consultation. If you have been referred for one of these procedures please inform our admin staff at the time of making your appointment.

Meghan “Megs” A
Tim Cole gave my daughter Madison a new life with his guidance on knee injury recovery, she was devastated with a surgeons opinion of her injury and Tim and the team at Performe were fantastic with her. 100% recommended.
Mark Roach
I highly recommend Perfome Sports Medical Clinic for their exceptional care. The staff, especially receptionist Cath, is professional and dedicated to helping patients recover and prevent future injuries.
Liv Cher
After struggling with a frustrating calf strain that stopped me running, a clear diagnosis and targeted exercise program got be back out on the trails and I haven't looked back.
Lewien Gallus
Lachie is not just a brilliant physio but also an awesome person. I mean how many other medical professionals would ensure that my toddler is happy while I’m on the treatment bed to the point that my son asked ‘when are we going to play at Lachie’s next?!’ Cannot recommend this clinic highly enough.
Julie Townrow
If you’re serious about performing at an elite level, your body needs regular maintenance to work or you want to return to your peak after an injury, than make your appointment with Lachie now, I promise you won’t regret your decision. I’ve been seeing Lachie for 16 years, for injuries sustained either during high performance sport or tactical policing with the Critical Incident Response Team; injuries include back surgeries, joint reconstructions, rehab post arthroscopes, carpel tunnel rehab, & plenty of soft tissue injuries. I trust his care implicitly, so much so that he treats my entire family, including members of my family who have 40 years or medical expertise and aren’t easily impressed - but with Lachie they are. We can’t thank Lachie enough for his care, compassion, guidance and friendship over that time and know he will look after you as well as he has us. The only thing to be wary of is that he will fix you and then you’ll be right to return to your chosen sport or profession without issue, so you won’t be able to blame your injury for not getting back to the level you were before!
Josh Olver
Jacqui is amazing. Very friendly and down to earth, highly professional. Straight shooter who has worked with some of the very best. The reception team are efficient, professional and friendly too. I can’t recommend Performe highly enough.
Joel Pearce
I go see lauchlan fooks to help with a couple of sports injuries (hip and knee) and a few office worker / desk injuriesc (stiff neck) when they flare up and he sorts me out every time. He's such a pro. His new set up here is awesome. And I love having access to quality float and cryo too at the same place too. Such a bonus.
Ed Tiplady
I've been seeing Lachlan for well over 10 years. He is the ultimate professional who has managed to fix me up from every single injury. Whether it be from my ambition outweighing my ability on the sporting field, to various other misadventures off field..... He has endless knowledge and the perfect demeanor 10/10!
