NDIS Exercise Physiology in Brisbane
Living with disability shapes so much of daily life, and you know your body better than anyone. When you come to us, we prioritise getting to know you, your goals and your wellbeing before we suggest anything at all. We take the time to understand how you experience your disability and the difference you would like to feel, and then we work with your NDIS plan to help you get there.
Whatever your age, ability or starting point, there is a place for you here. We work with NDIS participants right across Brisbane, at our clinics in Toowong and Sherwood, and through telehealth when coming in person is harder.
Who we work with
If you have an NDIS plan and exercise physiology helps you work towards your goals, you are welcome here. Many people are referred by a GP or support coordinator, and either way, you are welcome to reach out and talk it through with us first.
What happens at your first appointment
Your first appointment is about understanding you, and there is no pushing and no rushing. We start by talking. We ask about your NDIS goals, your health history, how you move now and what you would love to be able to do. Then we do a gentle assessment to see how your body is working, at a level that feels right for you. We work hard behind the scenes to contribute to your team too, keeping communication clear between everyone involved in your care.
From there, we build a plan together, and we review it regularly so it keeps working for you. Everything is individually prescribed, and nothing happens without your say-so.
Frequently asked questions
Does the NDIS cover exercise physiology?
Yes. Exercise physiology is commonly funded under the Improved Health and Wellbeing or Improved Daily Living support categories in your NDIS plan.
What does an exercise physiologist do for NDIS participants?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university qualified allied health professional. We use individually prescribed exercise to help people manage disability, injury and chronic conditions, and we are clinicians rather than personal trainers. Exercise is medicine, and for many NDIS participants it is one of the most practical ways to make daily life feel a little easier.
Every program we write is built around your body, your goals and the evidence for what works. For NDIS participants, that often looks like:
- Building strength and balance so daily tasks feel easier
- Improving mobility and reducing the risk of falls
- Managing pain and fatigue at a pace that suits you
- Staying active in a way that is safe and sustainable
- Working towards the things that matter to you, like walking further, moving more freely, or taking part in what you enjoy
Movement matters, and small changes add up over time. We also support people through chronic conditions and rehabilitation, and many NDIS participants see us for both.
What type of NDIS funding can I use?
We accept self-managed and plan-managed NDIS funding. If your plan is agency-managed, also called NDIA-managed, get in touch with our team first so we can confirm eligibility for your circumstances. Exercise physiology services are provided under the Improved Health and Well-being and Improved Daily Living support categories.
Do I need a referral to see an exercise physiologist?
No referral is required, though many people come to us via a GP or support coordinator. Either way, you’re welcome to reach out and talk it through with us first.
