GENERAL
What are we doing to address the COVID-19 pandemic?
Our primary focus during these unprecedented times is the health and safety of our co-workers and clients.
As we continue to monitor the situation closely, we are taking actions and precautions throughout our business. These are based on recommendations from the Australian government and the World Health Organisation.
We will continue to operate throughout this time and will be responsive to any changes in recommendations from the Health Department.
Actions that have been implemented throughout the business to date include:
- Increased focus on personal hygiene for all of our team members with handwashing & sanitising between clients.
- Increased focus on cleaning and sanitising procedures, including professional commercial cleaning each week, and equipment cleaning processes using disinfectant sprays between each client.
Our team are regularly provided with the most up to date information from health authorities on how to monitor for signs of the illness and are asked to refrain from coming into work if they exhibit symptoms or are at risk.
VIRTUAL SESSIONS AVAILABLE
We are also offering virtual sessions for clients where appropriate – please talk to your practitioner about arranging a virtual session.

Stay healthy, keep exercising and support small business!
What is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a recognised Allied Health Professional who prescribes exercise for preventing and managing chronic diseases and injuries, as well as improving health and performance.
Our practitioners have completed a 4-year University degree and more than 500 hours of clinical experience before registering with the governing body, Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).
We are experts in anatomy, biomechanics, human physiology and the management of chronic disease.
The advanced knowledge and skills of an AEP mean they are recognised by Medicare, DVA, Workcover and Private Health funds.

Do you accept private health funds?
Exercise Physiology services at our clinics may be covered by your private health provider. You will need to check with your selected private health provider to see if you are covered.
Are my sessions claimable on Medicare?
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) and Team Care Arrangement (TCA) plans allow General Practitioners (GPs) to organise the health care of patients with chronic conditions.
Your GP can allocate a total of 5 sessions per person, per calendar year which Medicare will help fund.
You may be eligible for the CDM plan if you have a current Medicare card and have a chronic condition or injury that has been or is likely to be present for 6 months or longer. This includes but not limited to musculoskeletal injury, accidents or post-operative care, as well as chronic disease management.
Further information about CDM is available via the Health.gov.au website.
If you feel like you may be eligible for a CDM, talk to your GP.
Do you accept DVA Gold or White cards?
If you have a:
- DVA Health Card – All Conditions (Gold Card), or
- Totally & Permanently Incapacitated (Gold), or
- White Card (for specific conditions)
the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) will fund exercise physiology services available through DVA arrangements that meet clinical needs.
In order to see you, we will need you to provide us with your DVA card details and a referral from your GP.
Further information about accessing DVA entitlements for exercise physiology services can be accessed via the DVA website.
Do you accept NDIS participants?
We work with people of all ages and abilities who are Plan or Self-Managed NDIS participants, offering personalized treatment plans and the support you need to put this plan into practice and reach your goals.
NDIS Participants who are plan-managed or self-managed will be able to access services from our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) under the ‘Improved Health and Wellbeing’ category which falls under a participant’s Capacity Building funding.
We are unable to invoice NDIS directly for services you access. When you have a session with us, we will send your invoice to you to pay. You can pay this upfront at the time of your session and then manually claim the funds back from the NDIS, using your NDIS portal. Alternatively, you can send the invoice to NDIS, and send the reimbursed funds to us. Talk to your practitioner about which option you require.
Do you accept Workcover clients?
Yes, we do. Patients with a referral from their doctor can engage in an assessment and an exercise program tailored to meet their needs, with the end goal to return to work safely as quickly as possible.
Please see your GP or treating doctor to obtain a referral.
