NDIS Consultations

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for Australians with a permanent and significant disability and their families and carers. It is designed to support people with disability to develop skills and capacity so they can participate in work and community life.

The NDIS is responsible for funding allied health and other therapy services related to a person’s disability – this includes Exercise Physiology.

Why see an AEP?

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) have expert knowledge on the human body and the role of exercise in health, fitness, and reducing the onset of chronic conditions symptoms and disabilities. AEPs develop exercise programs for people with a wide variety of disabilities to help them manage their condition and build capacity for activities of daily living. Their knowledge and extensive training also allows them to provide safe and effective, tailored exercise programs to any person that steps through their doors.

AEPs can help people living with a disability to live healthier lifestyles, gain independence and participate at work and in the community.

Funding for exercise physiology can come from one of two budget areas in an NDIS plan:

• Capacity building – Improved Daily Living

• Capacity building – Improved Health and Wellbeing
