Local care
Exercise physiology for Breadalbane residents.
Breadalbane sits in wind-range country along the Hume Motorway, a small highway-village community where grazing families make up much of who we see. The physical demands of that work — lifting, fencing, moving stock in weather that doesn't always cooperate — wear on backs, hips, and knees in a pattern that responds well to progressive, supervised strength training rather than short-term pain relief.
The drive in is about 28 minutes, roughly 30 kilometres, manageable as a fortnightly commitment for most Breadalbane households. We also see a number of older residents from this small community managing chronic conditions like heart disease, alongside falls prevention work, given how spread out and uneven rural properties can be.
Medicare, DVA, private, and WorkCover funding are all available, and we'll confirm what applies at your first visit.

What we treat
What Breadalbane patients see us for.
Exercise physiology is exercise prescribed like medicine. Our EPs are ESSA-accredited and four-year university trained, and they're the right call for chronic disease, cancer recovery, getting strong again after surgery, and the longer rehab arcs that don't fit inside a physio block.
- Chronic conditionstype 2 diabetes, heart disease, COPD
- Building strength safely for back, knee, and hip pain
- Rehab after injury or surgery
- Cancer rehabduring and after treatment
- Falls prevention and strength for older adults
- Exercise as part of a mental-health plan

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
How often would someone from Breadalbane typically attend?
Most settle into a fortnightly rhythm given the 28-minute drive, with home exercises filling the gaps. We front-load the first few sessions to set the program up properly.
Does DVA cover exercise physiology for Breadalbane residents?
Yes, with a valid referral from your GP or treating specialist, DVA-funded exercise physiology has no gap fee. Let us know your DVA status when booking and we'll confirm the details.
How is an exercise physiologist different from a personal trainer?
An accredited exercise physiologist is a four-year university-trained clinician registered with ESSA, qualified to assess and prescribe exercise for diagnosed medical conditions, injuries, and chronic disease. Personal training is an unregulated industry credential. EP is the recognised discipline for medical exercise, and it's claimable under Medicare, NDIS, WorkCover, and DVA where a trainer isn't.
Can I claim exercise physiology on Medicare?
Yes, with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, which covers up to five rebated allied-health visits a year across all disciplines. EP is also funded through NDIS, WorkCover, CTP, and DVA, or you can book privately without any referral. Bring your plan or referral to the first appointment.
