Exercise Physiology
That Comes to Your Home

For older Australians using a Home Care Package, or anyone whose mobility makes a clinic visit difficult — Andrew Lai offers home visits across the Inner West. Home Care Package, Support at Home, CHSP, and self-funded clients welcome.

Three pathways for funded aged care exercise physiology.

Australia's aged care funding system has shifted recently. From July 2025, new participants are placed on the Support at Home program rather than Home Care Packages, but most existing HCP recipients are still on their original packages. We accept clients across all three pathways:

HCP
Home Care Package

Levels 1–4 packages. EP services come from your overall package funding. We invoice your plan manager or HCP provider directly — most participants pay nothing out of pocket.

Support at Home
Support at Home

The new program replacing HCP for participants approved from July 2025 onwards. EP services included as part of allied health funding. We invoice your registered provider directly.

CHSP
Commonwealth Home Support

Entry-level aged care funding. Available subject to your CHSP provider's referral process. We can work with your service coordinator to organise approved sessions.

Not sure which one applies to you?

If you've been assessed by My Aged Care, your assessment outcome will tell you which program you're on. If you're unsure, give us a call — we'll help you understand the funding pathway and confirm whether your package can fund EP services.

Strength, balance, and independence as you age.

Exercise physiology for older Australians isn't about getting fit for a marathon. It's about maintaining the physical capacity to live independently, stay out of hospital, and keep doing the things that matter to you. The evidence base is overwhelming.

Falls PreventionStructured exercise programs reduce fall risk by up to 40% in older adults — directly preventing fractures, hospital admissions, and loss of independence.
🦴
Bone Density & Muscle MassResistance training is the single most effective intervention for osteoporosis and sarcopenia — both leading causes of frailty in older adults.
❤️
Heart & Metabolic HealthRegular exercise reduces blood pressure, improves diabetes management, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events — even in your 80s and 90s.
🧠
Cognition & Mental HealthExercise is one of the strongest protective factors against cognitive decline and dementia. It also reduces depression and anxiety in older populations.
🚶
Mobility & IndependenceMaintaining the strength to climb stairs, get out of a chair, walk to the shops, and live in your own home. The everyday capacity that matters most.
🏥
Post-Hospital RecoveryReconditioning after hospital admission, surgery, or illness. Exercise physiology helps older adults regain function and prevent decline in the months following discharge.

Home visits across the Inner West with Andrew Lai.

For clients who can't easily get to the clinic — whether due to mobility, transport, or living situation — Andrew offers home visit exercise physiology services across the Inner West. The same evidence-based programming, delivered in your living room, garage, or local park.

Home visits suit: older Australians on Home Care Packages, NDIS participants with mobility limitations, post-hospital reconditioning clients, and people recovering from surgery or significant illness.
