The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology aims to provide highly trained Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) to join the allied health workforce, providing clinical exercise services within clinical, community, workplace, and sporting environments. Specifically, graduates may work with diverse populations including individuals living with chronic disease such as cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, mental illness, disability and long-term sporting injuries. Acquiring in-depth knowledge and skills in core and emerging areas in the field, students will be equipped to practice in dynamic health environments within urban or rural settings.
The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology is currently seeking full accreditation status with the professional registration body - Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). Following successful full accreditation, graduates will be eligible to ascertain registration as an AEP. Exercise Physiology services are now officially recognised under Medicare as an allied health service. Patients referred to AEPs by their GP, for whom exercise is important for treatment of chronic health problems, are eligible to claim a Medicare rebate. AEP's are also eligible to register with the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Disability Insurance Scheme, WorkCover, and numerous private allied health providers.
Studying the Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at UNDA also provides opportunities for unique and contemporary practicum opportunities such as within rural and remote health that reflect the expansion of evidence-based practice in the field of Clinical Exercise Physiology.
After studying this degree students will become an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP). AEPs work in a number of environments, including but not limited to:
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
