Do I need a referral or prescription to use Bauerfeind products?Updated 7 hours ago

No — you do not need a referral or prescription to purchase or use Bauerfeind products.

Our braces, supports and compression products are designed to be accessible for everyday customers, athletes and individuals seeking comfort, stability or injury support.

You are welcome to purchase directly online, in-store, or through one of our healthcare partners.

When a referral may be helpful

While not required, some customers choose to see a:

• Physiotherapist

• Chiropractor

• Sports physician

• GP or specialist

These professionals can provide personalised clinical guidance, especially if you have a specific injury, post-operative needs or a complex condition.

A referral can also help when claiming through private health insurance, depending on your fund’s requirements.

When you don’t need any clinical paperwork

For general use — such as:

• Mild to moderate joint support

• Everyday comfort

• Sports performance

• Workplace stability

• Minor aches or overuse discomfort

— you can choose the right product without any referral.

Our teams in-store and online are trained to assist with sizing and product selection if you need extra guidance.
