Exercise Physiologist

About the role

You'll manage your own caseload across a varied and rewarding mix of presentations, designing and progressing individualised, evidence-based programs that fit each client's goals, abilities and the activities they love. You'll run group programs, build genuine relationships with the people you work with, and have proper time to do the job well — backed by a supportive team. Quality assessment tools are here to guide your clinical reasoning, never to replace it.

In a typical week, you will see around 8-10 clients per day, with admin and reception support handled by our team so you can focus on clinical work. The caseload spans individual consults and group classes – with no pressure to rush appointments or hit referral targets.

Key responsibilities

• Get to know your clients and tailor rehab to the goals and activities that matter to them.
• Design, deliver and progress individualised, evidence-based exercise programs.
• Conduct thorough assessments and use the findings to guide your clinical decisions.
• Run group programs and deliver telehealth where appropriate.
• Produce timely, high-quality documentation across funding streams.

About you

• Bachelor or Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (or equivalent).
• Current ESSA accreditation as an AEP.
• Warm, clear communicator with strong written skills.
• Detail-oriented, organised and able to manage a varied caseload.
• Excellent time-management skills.
• NDIS Worker Screening, police check, WWCC, First Aid/CPR and driver's licence (or willingness to obtain).
• Comfortable using objective assessment tools (e.g. VALD) to support clinical reasoning (desirable).
• Background in falls prevention, complex pain or MSK (desirable).
• Familiarity with DVA, Medicare, NDIS and Aged Care workflows (desirable).

About us

At The Rehab Bar, we help people get back to doing what they love. We are an allied health clinic built on evidence-based exercise physiology and genuine patient-centred care, supporting clients across DVA, Medicare, NDIS, Aged Care and private health. We believe rehab works best in a quieter clinic environment rather than a commercial gym — and that's exactly what we offer: a fully-equipped clinic with high-quality gym equipment. The space is only half of it – the other half is tailoring every program to the person in front of you, meeting them where they are and helping them move in ways they actually enjoy.
