Exercise Physiologist - Seaford/Noarlunga

Proactive Health is a national network — over 40 allied health businesses, 450+ locations across Australia. But don't let the scale fool you: at our Noarlunga/Seaford and Aberfoyle clinics, it still feels like a close-knit team, with genuine multidisciplinary collaboration happening every day.

As an Exercise Physiologist here, you'll be part of that team — working alongside physiotherapists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, dietitians and social workers, sharing ideas and coordinating care to get the best outcomes for your clients (and honestly, to make your own job more interesting too).

You'll also get a genuinely varied caseload from day one — DVA, Medicare (EPC), NDIS, Home Care Packages, workers' compensation, and private clients — so no two weeks look quite the same.

About This Role

This is a full-time opportunity to broaden your clinical skills, build your confidence, and make a real difference across a diverse client base. You'll design and deliver tailored exercise programs for people managing chronic disease, recovering from injury or surgery, building functional capacity, or simply wanting to stay independent as they age.

But beyond the clinical work, what really sets this role apart is how you'll be looked after. Our clinic owners care — properly — about creating a place where you can do your best work and actually enjoy doing it. They've built an Employee Value Proposition that holds its own against anything in the private sector, because they know that when people feel supported and set up to succeed, they stay.

What We Offer

• Dedicated mentorship tailored to your experience level, with regular 1:1s and a development plan that's genuinely about you.
• Access to the Proactive Health Academy, so your CPD and ESSA requirements are sorted without the hassle.
• Real pathways through our graduate and leadership programs — wherever you want your career to go, there's a way to get there.
• Strong clinical governance — quality assurance, supervision and peer review — so you're never figuring things out alone.
• Employee rewards and discounts with popular retailers, plus wellbeing resources.
• Clear, visible career advancement — from clinician through to senior leadership, and even ownership.

A Week in the Life

• Comprehensive initial assessments — functional testing, health screening, and exercise capacity evaluation.
• Individualised, evidence-based exercise programs delivered across clinic, home, gym and community settings.
• A mixed caseload spanning DVA, Medicare EPC, NDIS, Home Care Packages, workers' compensation and private clients.
• Individual and group sessions, tailored to each client's needs.
• Close collaboration with your allied health team — physios, podiatrists, OTs, dietitians and GPs.
• Regular progress reviews, with programs adjusted to keep clients moving toward meaningful outcomes.
• Clinical documentation that's straightforward and in line with ESSA standards and our governance framework.
• Helping clients build the confidence to manage their own health, long after they leave your session.

• Accreditation as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) with ESSA or eligibility to attain accreditation.
• A recognised tertiary qualification in Exercise Physiology or Clinical Exercise Physiology.
• Current professional indemnity and public liability insurance or willingness to obtain.
• Current or willingness to obtain National Police Check and any relevant state screening (e.g., NDIS Worker Screening, Working with Children Check).
• Strong clinical skills in assessment, program design, and clinical reasoning.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of collaborating across multidisciplinary teams and liaising with referrers.
• Ability to work independently in community settings and contribute positively within a team environment.

Desirable but not essential:

• Familiarity with multiple funding streams including NDIS, Medicare EPC, Home Care Packages, and workers’ compensation.
• Interest or experience in chronic disease management, pain science, functional rehabilitation, or aged care.
• Experience leading group exercise sessions.
• Previous work experience in private practice or community health settings.
