What exercise physiologists do

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university-qualified allied health professionals who prescribe exercise to prevent and manage health conditions. They are accredited by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).

Who they help

  • People with diabetes, heart or lung conditions
  • Back pain and injury recovery
  • Cancer treatment and recovery
  • Mental health
  • Healthy ageing and falls prevention
  • NDIS participants

Funding

AEPs can provide Medicare-rebated services under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, and many also work with private health extras, workers compensation, DVA and the NDIS. Check the practitioner holds AEP accreditation, as some programs and health funds require it.

Before you book

  • AEP accreditation with ESSA
  • Experience with your condition
  • Gym, home or online sessions
  • Fees and funding options
  • GP plan if using Medicare
