Our Exercise Physiologist is a registered provider with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) on the Sunshine Coast/ Brisbane region and provides in home physical health and well-being services to people with a permanent disability.
Working in conjunction with a nominated NDIA planner or service provider coordinator, Age Well For Life EP will prescribe a comprehensive and specialised exercise regime, tailored to the specific needs of each individual.
If you are under the age of 65, reside on the Sunshine Coast or surrounding areas, have Australian residency and need support from a person or equipment to undertake your activities of daily living due to an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent - then you may be eligible for assistance under the NDIS.
Our services can be accessed through funding within a participant's plan under the Support/Capacity Building Category of Improved Health and Well-being and NOT “Improved Daily Living”. This is a common mistake that can cause your funds to be locked in another category. Plan amendments can be made to redirect funds into the Support/Capacity Building Category of Improved Health and Well-being if not already existing.
NOTE: Exercise Physiologists can improve functional capacity, in turn improving activities of daily living however AEPs are not approved under the ‘Improved Daily Living’ category. Currently, Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) are lobbying for changes to be made to the allocation of funding.
Patients who have the wrong allocated funding can request a plan review to their case manager to have a budget categorised under the “Health and Wellbeing” category for Exercise Physiology services.
