What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for Australians with disability to develop skills and capacity so that they can participate in work and community life. The NDIS may fund allied health and other therapy services related to a person’s disability including physiotherapy and exercise physiology.

AEPs are experts in the human body, health and fitness. They can develop exercise programs for people with a variety of disabilities with the aim to help participants better manage their condition and build their capacity for activities of daily living. 

AEPs prioritise safe and effective exercise and are able to tailor a program to suit the individual’s needs. 

• Strength training

• Balance training

• Matwork Clinical Pilates

• Prescription of home exercise programs

• Prescription of gym based programs
