NDIS Exercise Physiology:
Building Strength, Function and Independence for NDIS Participants

What Is NDIS Exercise Physiology?

NDIS exercise physiology refers to exercise physiology services delivered to eligible NDIS participants as part of their funded support plan. Physio Inq is a registered NDIS provider, supporting participants who are self-managed, plan-managed or agency-managed across Australia.

Under the NDIS, exercise physiology focuses on building physical capacity, improving function and working towards the independence and participation goals in a participant's plan. Our exercise physiologists design individualised programs for participants living with neurological conditions, physical and intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, acquired brain injury and complex health needs, developed collaboratively with the participant, their support coordinator and their broader care team.

Our NDIS exercise physiology services include: 

  • Individualised exercise programs aligned to NDIS capacity building goals 
  • Strength, balance and mobility programs to improve daily function 
  • Cardiovascular fitness programs tailored to disability and health status 
  • Exercise programs for neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s and MS 
  • Physical activity support for participants with mental health conditions 
  • Exercise programs for participants with intellectual disability 
  • Fatigue management through graded exercise programs 
  • Support for participants transitioning to independent exercise 
  • Carer and support worker education on exercise program implementation 
  • Progress reporting and documentation for NDIS plan reviews 

All programs are developed collaboratively with the participant, their support coordinator and, where relevant, other members of their allied health and care team.

Who We Support 

Physio Inq’s NDIS exercise physiology services support participants across all ages, disability types and plan management arrangements. 

NDIS Participants: All Plan Types 

We support self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed participants. Our team handles all invoicing and reporting in line with NDIS guidelines and communicates directly with support coordinators and plan managers throughout service delivery. 

Participants with Physical Disability 

We design exercise programs for participants living with physical disability, focusing on improving strength, mobility, endurance and functional independence in daily activities. Programs are adapted to the participant’s physical capacity and delivered in their preferred environment. 

Participants with Neurological Conditions 

Our exercise physiologists have experience working with participants living with cerebral palsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions. Programs use evidence-based approaches to support neuroplasticity, maintain function and manage condition-specific challenges. 

Participants with Mental Health Conditions 

For NDIS participants living with psychosocial disability or mental health conditions, exercise physiology provides structured, supportive physical activity programs that build confidence, routine and wellbeing alongside physical fitness. 

Support Coordinators and Plan Managers 

We work closely with support coordinators and plan managers to streamline referrals, provide timely progress reports and ensure services are well-coordinated with the participant’s broader support network. 

Families and Carers 

Our exercise physiologists provide practical guidance for families and carers on how to support participants to continue their exercise program safely and effectively between sessions.

Where We Provide NDIS Exercise Physiology

Physio Inq delivers NDIS exercise physiology services across Australia. Our network of EPs operates in metropolitan, regional, and rural areas, with national coordination provided through our customer service team. 


Our Approach to NDIS Exercise Physiology

  1. Initial assessment. We review the participant's goals and current capabilities, including the day-to-day tasks they want to feel more confident doing.
  2. Personalised plan. We develop an exercise plan that fits the participant's NDIS funding and daily routine, making it easier to stay consistent.
  3. Regular sessions. We guide participants through exercises safely, adjusting as they progress and working at a pace that feels comfortable.
  4. Progress reviews. We provide regular updates and communicate with the participant's support coordinator and therapy team, reducing admin and keeping everyone aligned.

Depending on the participant's goals, support may include:


  • Everyday movement and confidence. Programs built around practical movement, from walking to getting in and out of bed.
  • Strength and fitness. Goal-directed activities that help participants feel steadier and more capable with tasks like carrying groceries or managing stairs.
  • Mobility and postural control. Support to improve function and postural control, making sitting, standing and moving feel safer.
  • Weight management. Guidance supporting gradual weight loss or weight gain based on individual needs and circumstances.
  • Healthy lifestyle education. Building realistic, sustainable routines that can be maintained over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to Allied Health Professionals Australia, physiotherapists are experts in the structure of the human body and its movement. They work with people of all ages to treat a broad range of health conditions including sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions as well as people with disability, chronic health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, osteoarthritis and stroke.

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP) as professionals who specialise in clinical exercise interventions for people with a broad range of health issues. Those people may be at risk of developing, or have existing, medical conditions and injuries. The aims of exercise physiology interventions are to prevent or manage acute, sub-acute or chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring one's optimal physical function, health, or wellness. These interventions are exercise-based and include health and physical activity education, advice and support and lifestyle modification with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change.

Mobile Exercise Physiology is the term we use to describe Exercise Physiology that comes to you. We are able to deliver the service in your home, or anywhere you prefer in your community.

Both disciplines can be funded under the NDIS and often work together. Physiotherapy typically addresses specific injury, pain or movement dysfunction through hands-on treatment and exercise. Exercise physiology focuses on longer-term conditioning, fitness, chronic disease management and building physical capacity through structured exercise programs.
