Eligibility

Does My Aged Care cover Exercise Physiology services for me?

Eligibility for Exercise Physiology services through My Aged Care, specifically through the Home Care Packages (HCP) Program, is dependent on several factors.

Firstly, to access the HCP Program, you need to register with My Aged Care and be referred for an assessment to check your eligibility.

Secondly, if you are deemed eligible for a Home Care Package, you will be assigned a package at a specific level (Level 1 to 4) based on your assessed needs.

Each package level receives a different government subsidy rate.

Exercise Physiology services may be included in your care plan if they are required due to ageing-related functional decline and you cannot access these services through other government programs, such as Medicare’s Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan or disability support. Exercise Physiology is an allied health service.

Is there a specific Home Care Package level needed to access Exercise Physiology?

While HCP Levels 3 and 4 are generally eligible for these Exercise Physiology, it’s essential to remember that the ultimate decision rests with the ACAT. This means your specific circumstances and available funding will shape your care plan, ensuring that your journey towards better health is guided by your unique situation.
