Questions
EP questions
Yes. Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health clinicians who plan exercise around health conditions, injuries and disability - not generic fitness programs. Sessions are matched to your assessment, goals and funding pathway.
Programs are planned from your assessment and adjusted with you as you go. Tell the team about any worries up front - pacing is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
