Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiologists deliver you safe and effective exercise interventions to help you reach your optimal health. Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university qualified, allied health professionals with the knowledge, skills and competencies to serve those with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.

With the philosophy of exercise is medicine, our one-on-one or group membership programs provide an individual tailored exercise treatment plan for everyone who joins. We firmly believe that a ‘one size fits all’ approach does not work when managing illnesses and injuries.

  • Fully equipped gym & indoor aquatics
  • Community classes, wellbeing groups and social spaces including café
  • On-site, fitness and recreation support
  • A welcoming, inclusive environment that celebrates cultural diversity and supports gender-safe care

Exercise Physiology FAQs

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are recognised and registered by the Australian Government as allied health professionals. Specialising in the prescription of exercise to treat and manage acute, sub-acute and chronic medical conditions, musculoskeletal injuries or disabilities.

With university degree education, an exercise physiologist can work with patients from post-surgery in hospital settings to return to work/sport at community level in private practice. Exercise physiologists can also assist with athletic development and work in elite sport.

You don’t need a referral unless you're being treated by one of our AEP’s through the following compensable schemes:

  • Medicare
  • WorkCover / WorkSafe
  • TAC (Transport Accident Commission)
  • Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
  • National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The key difference between an exercise physiologist and other exercise professionals is that they are uniquely trained to understand the complexities of prescribing exercise as a form of medicine for health, rehabilitation and fitness.

Exercise physiologists are qualified to prescribe exercise for health, rehabilitation and fitness. The skills and knowledge of an exercise physiologist are developed over five years of university education which enables them to treat proficiently in a variety of settings.

This includes land-based exercise, water-based exercise (warm water therapy) and through education via individualised health counselling and facilitated group programs.
