While you don't need a referral to see an exercise physiologist, having a GP referral allows you to access bulk billing through Medicare for eligible patients. We recommend discussing with your GP whether exercise physiology would benefit your condition and requesting a referral if appropriate.

We offer several flexible payment options:

1. Bulk billing via GP referral (no out-of-pocket cost)
2. WorkCover WA for workplace injuries

3. Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)

4. Private Health Insurance (depending on your provider)

5. Free first assessment if no other coverage applies

Your first assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of your current health status, movement patterns, and personal goals. Nick will review your medical history, assess your physical capabilities, and discuss how exercise can support your specific needs. This forms the foundation for your personalised exercise program.

As an ESSA-accredited exercise physiologist, Nick works with a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and other chronic conditions. Exercise physiology can also support injury rehabilitation, strength building, and return-to-work planning.

Initial assessments typically take 45-60 minutes, with follow-up sessions usually 30-45 minutes. The frequency depends on your individual needs and goals - this could range from weekly to monthly visits. Nick will discuss the recommended schedule during your assessment.

Nick is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and is registered with WorkCover WA. He has university qualifications in exercise science and applies evidence-based exercise interventions to support your health and mobility goals.

Nick brings necessary assessment tools and can recommend suitable equipment for your home program. Many effective exercises can be performed with minimal equipment using household items, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises. Equipment recommendations will be based on your specific program and space.
