We're looking for an experienced Accredited Exercise Physiologist to cover a 6-week locum role at our Hervey Bay practice, starting 14 September – 22 October 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for an EP who wants meaningful clinical work in a well-established, client-focused private practice.
About Physical Prosperity

We serve a diverse caseload across NDIS, DVA, and My Aged Care, working collaboratively with GPs, specialists and multidisciplinary teams to deliver real, measurable outcomes. Our patients aren't just numbers, we take their health seriously and we expect our team to as well.
The Role
This is a short-term locum position, 4 days per week for 6 weeks covering an established caseload. You'll step in with minimal onboarding friction and hit the ground running. Day-to-day you'll be:

- Educating clients on exercise technique, health behaviour change and risk reduction
Who We're Looking For
- Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) accreditation — non-negotiable
- AHPRA registration current and in good standing
- Demonstrated experience working with NDIS, DVA, and/or My Aged Care clients — familiarity with documentation, billing, and compliance requirements for these funding streams is essential
- Competent across chronic disease, musculoskeletal, and cardiac rehabilitation
- Excellent communicator who can work independently, manage a caseload confidently, and maintain the standard of care our clients expect
- Police check and relevant insurances in place (or ability to obtain before start date)
Why Apply
- Established practice with existing referral relationships and a loyal client base
- Straightforward, focused caseload, no administrative burden beyond your clinical documentation
