Understand the distinction
Personal training and therapeutic exercise are not the same
The purpose, qualifications, disability relationship and NDIS requirements determine whether exercise is a therapeutic support.
General fitness
Personal training
Usually focuses on general fitness and exercise instruction. It is not automatically a therapeutic or NDIS-funded support.
Disability-related outcomes
Therapeutic exercise
Delivered by an appropriately qualified professional and connected to assessed disability-related functional or therapeutic goals.
Before arranging support, consider its purpose, professional qualifications, disability relationship, NDIS requirements and fit with the participant’s plan.
Participant goals
Therapy should connect to what matters to you
Goals may focus on physical capacity, everyday independence, confidence or meaningful community participation. The approach should follow individual circumstances and professional assessment.
Your goals guide the pathway
A clear goal helps identify the most relevant professional and support approach.
- ✓Increasing independence
- ✓Improving mobility
- ✓Developing physical capacity
- ✓Participating in community activities
- ✓Maintaining functional ability
- ✓Improving confidence
- ✓Developing everyday skills
- ✓Supporting meaningful participation
