FAQ's

What does an Exercise Physiologist do?

An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (EP) uses evidence-based exercise to help people manage injuries, health conditions and improve their physical capacity.

At Coastline, we combine Exercise Physiology with strength and conditioning. We listen first, understand your goals and build a plan to help you get back to doing what matters to you.

We'll explain what we're doing and why, so you're involved every step of the way.

Do I need a referral to see an Exercise Physiologist?

No, you don't need a referral to book a private Exercise Physiology appointment at Coastline.

However, Medicare, DVA, workers compensation and some other funding pathways may have referral or approval requirements. NDIS services depend on your funding arrangements.

Not sure? Get in touch and we'll help you understand your options.

What should I wear to my Exercise Physiology appointment?

Wear comfortable clothes and supportive footwear that allow you to move freely.

You might be walking, squatting, lifting or trying a few different movements during your session.

We also recommend bringing a water bottle and towel.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring any relevant medical reports, scans, GP referrals or specialist letters you have.

We'll also take time to listen to your story, understand your goals and discuss what you'd like to get back to doing.

With your consent, we can communicate with your GP or other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Can I use Medicare or private health insurance for Exercise Physiology?

Yes, eligible clients may be able to claim Medicare rebates or private health insurance benefits for Exercise Physiology.

Medicare generally requires an appropriate GP referral and care plan. Private health rebates depend on your fund and level of cover.

Coastline has HICAPS facilities for eligible private health claims. A gap payment may apply.

Please check your eligibility before booking.

How long does an Exercise Physiology appointment take?

Our previously listed appointment lengths are:

  • Initial consultation: 60 minutes
  • Follow-up appointment: 30 minutes

Your first appointment gives us time to understand your goals, assess your current capacity and start building a plan together.
