How Exercise Physiology and the NDIS Works

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s extensive program dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities. The scheme provides essential services and therapies, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their disability, has the opportunity to live a fulfilling life with the support they need. Through the NDIS, eligible participants receive funding to access personalised services and supports, fostering inclusivity and promoting independence.

Exercise Physiology and the NDIS

Exercise Physiologists are qualified allied health professionals who specialise in designing and delivering safe and effective exercise programs to manage chronic conditions, disability, or injury. Under the NDIS, exercise physiology supports participants in improving mobility, physical function, strength, endurance, and overall wellbeing - helping them live more independently.

At Thrive Health Therapies, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) use movement as medicine, developing tailored programs to help each person thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.
