You Shouldn’t Have to Travel to Get the Right Exercise Support

Most Exercise Programs Feel Generic. Ours Is Built Around You.

If you’ve ever tried to start an exercise program on your own, you already know how hard it can be to stay motivated, work around your condition, and know whether you’re doing the right thing. Generic gym programs don’t account for your specific needs, and clinic-based appointments can be hard to get to.

For many people, that’s exactly what happens. They start, struggle, and stop. OTEP exists to change that. With years of experience working in disability and rehabilitation, we know how programs need to be structured, what your body needs to get stronger safely, and how to make exercise something you actually enjoy. Our team handles the entire process with you, from your first assessment through to achieving the goals that matter to you.

What OTEP’s Mobile Exercise Physiology Service Includes

  • Initial assessment: a thorough conversation about your goals, health history and current abilities, plus standardised measures to track your progress
  • Individualised exercise program: a plan built specifically for you, designed to be engaging, achievable and effective
  • Mobile delivery: sessions at your home or in your local community, so you don’t have to travel to a clinic
  • Ongoing support and adjustment: regular check-ins to make sure your program is working and to adapt it as you progress
  • Shared goals with your OT: our team works together on your functional goals, so your exercise program supports your overall independence
  • Follow-through to real outcomes: we don’t consider a program successful until you’re feeling stronger, more confident and doing more of what you love
  • Clear communication: plain-English explanations of what we’re doing and why, so you always know how your program is helping

In many cases, yes. Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology can support similar functional outcomes, such as improving strength, mobility, balance, physical capacity and independence. Whether you can use your funding for Exercise Physiology will depend on how the supports are described in your NDIS plan and the goals you’re working towards.

Not sure how your funding applies? Get in touch with our team. We can talk through your plan, explain the process and help you organise Exercise Physiology sessions that are right for you.

It depends on your needs and goals. Physiotherapists often focus on assessing and treating pain, injuries, movement problems and rehabilitation, while Exercise Physiologists use tailored exercise programs to build strength, fitness, mobility, endurance and confidence over time. There can be plenty of overlap between the two, and in some cases you may benefit from both.

If you’re not sure which service is right for you, get in touch with our team. We can talk through your goals and support needs and help you work out the best place to start.

Exercise Physiology is most commonly funded through the Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living category of an NDIS plan. This funding can be used for therapeutic supports that help improve your functional capacity, independence and ability to manage everyday activities.

In some cases, Exercise Physiology may also be funded through Capacity Building, Improved Health and Wellbeing, although this is less common and will depend on how your individual plan and supports are structured.

If you’re unsure where your funding sits or whether it can be used for Exercise Physiology, get in touch with our team. We can help you understand your plan and organise the right support for your goals.

Very little. All OTEP needs to begin is a free 15-minute clinician call about your goals and, if you have one, a copy of your NDIS plan or relevant referral. If you have specific questions about funding, home modifications or assistive technology, details of those are helpful too. There is no commitment required at this stage. OTEP will give you an honest picture of whether our mobile services are likely to be a good fit before you decide anything.

Every person is different. Some clients benefit from regular weekly or fortnightly sessions, while others work in focused blocks with breaks in between. OTEP will recommend a schedule based on your goals, your funding and what works for your family. The best time to start is always now. The sooner you begin, the sooner you build momentum toward the life you want.

Yes. Once engaged, OTEP works closely with your support coordinator, plan manager, GP and other providers as needed. Our occupational therapists and exercise physiologists also collaborate directly with each other on shared goals, so you get integrated support rather than disconnected services. We follow every goal through to real, measurable progress, and we don’t consider our work done until you’re doing more of what matters to you.

No. OTEP supports self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants, but we also work with people accessing Exercise Physiology through Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plans, TAC and My Aged Care.

Eligibility and funding requirements can vary between programs, so if you have a health, rehabilitation or disability goal and you’re not sure whether your funding can be used, get in touch with our team. We can talk through your situation and help you understand your options.

The Sooner You Start, the Sooner You Feel the Difference

The longer you put off getting the right exercise support, the longer you live with the limitations that are holding you back. Every week of delay is a week you could have been building strength, confidence and independence. If you’ve been thinking about starting, or you’ve tried exercise before and it didn’t stick, the best time to act is now. OTEP has helped people across South East Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula get stronger and do more of what they love, and we can do the same for you.

Funding Options That Work for You

We want exercise physiology to be accessible. OTEP works with several funding pathways, including self-managed and plan-managed NDIS Capacity Building Supports, Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plans (with a GP referral), TAC and My Aged Care. We’ll help you understand your options so you can focus on your goals, not the paperwork.

  • Flexible funding pathways: NDIS (self-managed and plan-managed), Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, TAC and My Aged Care
  • Mobile service: we come to you, so there’s no travel stress or clinic waiting rooms
