Funding note: this is Capacity Building, not Core Supports

Exercise physiology is typically funded under Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living (Category 07), not your Core Supports budget. It appears on this page because we arrange access through our partner Greater Health. Check with your plan manager which budget applies to your plan before booking.

About This Support

Real specialists, real programs

Exercise physiology isn't personal training. It's a clinical allied health service delivered by university-qualified professionals who specialise in exercise as medicine. Programs are designed around your diagnosis, your functional goals, and what your body can do right now.

Greater Health's exercise physiologists work with NDIS participants across a range of conditions, including neurological, musculoskeletal, mental health, and developmental presentations. They design programs that adapt as you progress.

The goal is sustainable improvement, not short-term fitness gains. Programs are built to integrate into your life.

Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living

NDIS funding for exercise physiology

Exercise physiology is funded under Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living (Category 07). This is separate from your Core Supports budget. Not all NDIS plans include Capacity Building funding, so it's worth checking your plan before you start.

If you're plan-managed, your plan manager can confirm whether Category 07 funding is available and how much you have. If you're self-managed, you claim directly from the NDIS portal after paying Greater Health.
