Your concerns. A thorough assessment.
Your first visit begins before you arrive. Jane carefully reviews your completed health form, any relevant information shared with Kate, and any existing imaging we’re able to access. This helps her understand the broader context of your concerns and prepare relevant questions before meeting you.
During your appointment, Jane starts by listening to what has brought you in, how it affects your everyday life and what you would like help with. Your conversation then guides a focused examination tailored to your history, presentation and goals.
Let our team know in advance if you have had relevant imaging such as X-rays, MRI or CT, including what was imaged, approximately when, and where it was performed.

Meet Dr Jane Hardy
Thoughtful care.
A personal connection.
For Jane, great chiropractic care starts with understanding the person in front of her—what’s troubling you, how it affects your life and what you want to get back to doing.
Graduated in 2008New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
Clinical Excellence AwardAwarded on graduation.
Read Jane’s full story
For Jane, great chiropractic care starts with taking the time to truly understand the person in front of her — how their body is functioning, what may be contributing to their concerns, and what they ultimately want to get back to doing.
Originally from Australia, Jane moved to New Zealand to study at the world-renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic, graduating in 2008 and receiving the Clinical Excellence Award. After returning to Australia, Jane and her husband Nigel eventually made the Northern Rivers home, opening Casuarina Chiropractic in 2018.
Jane is passionate about providing thorough, individualised care. She believes people deserve more than a quick fix — they should understand what’s going on, why it matters, and the options available to help them move forward. Her approach combines detailed assessment, chiropractic care and, where appropriate, spinal decompression therapy.
Introducing spinal decompression therapy to the practice has allowed Jane to offer another approach for people with more complex spinal concerns, as well as those looking to improve the way their spine moves and functions. She particularly enjoys working with people who are motivated to take an active role in their care — whether their goal is getting back to everyday life, returning to something they love, or seeing what their body is capable of.
Away from the practice, family comes first for Dr Jane. She loves spending time with her husband Nigel and their daughters, Eva and Scarlett, and making the most of the active coastal lifestyle they’re fortunate to call home. Being part of the local community — both as a family and through Casuarina Chiropractic — is something she genuinely values.
For Jane, it all comes back to one simple philosophy: understand your body, look after it well, and never underestimate what it may be capable of.

Before you decide
A few things
worth knowing.
Need a practical answer before booking? Call the team.
0498 012 334First visits & fees
What does the $195 include, and what if I don’t receive an adjustment?
Your $195 covers both visits: consultation and examination, explanation of findings, review of relevant existing imaging if applicable, individual recommendations, time for questions and your first adjustment if clinically appropriate. If no adjustment is provided, the total across both visits is $160. Ongoing care beyond these two visits is additional, with recommendations and fees discussed before you proceed.
When will I receive my first adjustment?
Your first visit focuses on consultation and examination. At your second visit, Jane explains your findings and recommendations and answers your questions. Your first adjustment is included at this second visit if clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed.
Why are there two visits, and how long do they take?
The first visit is approximately 30 minutes for your consultation and examination. The second is approximately 20–30 minutes for your findings, relevant imaging review, questions and first adjustment if clinically appropriate. This sequence puts assessment and explanation before treatment.
Do I need to commit to ongoing care?
No. Receiving your first adjustment does not require you to commit to ongoing care. Jane explains her recommendations and any ongoing fees, and you decide whether to proceed.
Preparing for your care
Will I need new X-rays or an MRI?
Not automatically. Imaging is only considered when clinically indicated, and we can arrange a referral if needed. Your care pathway includes review of relevant existing imaging where applicable, but does not include the cost of obtaining new scans. Spinal X-rays may be bulk billed, and MRI scans can often be arranged for approximately $250.
There is no need to organise new scans before your appointment unless advised. If further imaging is recommended, our team will explain the next steps and any separate costs before proceeding.
What should I bring to my first visit?
If you’ve had relevant scans or imaging, please let our team know in advance what imaging, approximately when, and where it was performed. In most cases, we can access the reports or images on your behalf so Jane can review them before your appointment.
Be ready to discuss your symptoms, health history and what you would like help with. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis.
What if chiropractic isn’t appropriate for me?
Jane may discuss another approach, co-management or referral where indicated. An adjustment is only provided if clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed.
Booking & practical details
What happens when I book?
You will receive an initial confirmation email from our booking system. Kate will contact you when the practice is next open to confirm the details and arrange your paperwork. Please complete and return your forms before your appointment so Jane has time to review them. If you cannot complete them beforehand, arrive 15 minutes early to fill them in at the practice.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that is not too bulky. For the examination, you may be asked to remove items from your pockets and take off a belt.
When is payment due, and can I claim a rebate?
Payment is due at the time of your appointment.
If you have private health cover, we can provide a receipt for you to submit to your fund. Any rebate will depend on your level of cover.
Patients referred by their GP under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan may be eligible for Medicare rebates for chiropractic care. Please bring your valid referral to your appointment.
We also welcome eligible DVA Veteran Card holders with a valid referral for chiropractic care.
How do cancellations and card details work?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. The full appointment fee may be charged for a missed appointment or cancellation with less than 24 hours’ notice.
Card details may be taken to secure your booking. Your card is not charged in advance, but it may be charged if you do not attend or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice.
What to wear
Prepare for your visit
Wear comfortable clothing that is not too bulky. You may be asked to empty your pockets and remove a belt during the examination.
What should I avoid?
Avoid bulky clothing where possible. If you are unsure what will be suitable, call the practice before your appointment.
Practice entrance
Know where to arrive
The logo and arrow in the photograph mark the practice on the upper level. The practice is accessed by stairs; there is no lift or step-free access.
Need help with the stairs?
Please contact the team before your appointment if you would like assistance with the stairs. We will be happy to help where we can.
Where to park
Plan your arrival
The highlighted area shows The Commons car park at the rear of the building, accessed from Casuarina Way. Street parking is also available on Grand Parade.
View parking options

A little preparation helps.
