Exercise physiology in Bungonia.
We treat Bungonia residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 37 minutes and 42 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Bungonia residents.
Bungonia's proximity to the national park means we see two kinds of injuries from there: the outdoor kind, from hiking, climbing, and abseiling around the gorge, and the everyday kind, from farm and property work that comes with life on a rural block. Both benefit from the same thing — a progressive strength program that gets you back to the activity rather than just settling the pain.
At about 37 minutes via Jerrara Road, close to 42 kilometres, Bungonia locals tend to block out a morning for a clinic visit rather than squeezing one in. We build programs around that reality, with fewer, longer sessions and clear home exercises for the weeks in between, particularly for rehab after surgery or a significant property-work injury.
Medicare, private, WorkCover, and CTP funding are all available depending on how the injury happened.
Getting here
The drive in from Bungonia.
Bungonia sits south-east of Goulburn, about 42 km from the clinic and roughly 37 minutes away via Jerrara Road. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Can exercise physiology help after a fall in Bungonia Gorge or the national park?
Yes, particularly for rebuilding strength and confidence after a soft-tissue injury or surgery. We'd want to know whether CTP, private health, or Medicare applies to your situation before the first session.
How many trips from Bungonia does a typical program need?
Most run 6-10 sessions over a couple of months, spaced out to suit a 37-minute drive — often fortnightly with home exercises carrying the program between visits.
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.
