What you do during & after treatment directly affects whether cancer returns.
Most people aren't told this.
The choices you make in survivorship - how you move, how you rebuild - have a measurable impact on your future. This is the science Valere was built on.

Who we are
We treat the
person living with cancer.
Cancer treatment is designed to destroy the disease. But it often leaves people weaker, more isolated, and struggling with effects that can persist for a decade or more. For too long, supportive care has been treated as optional.
At Valere, we believe strength and supportive care should be part of cancer treatment itself, not something optional afterwards. A stronger person tolerates treatment better, responds to it better, and recovers from it better. That is not an opinion. It is the science.
Founded in 2018 by Dr Morgan Farley, PhD-qualified exercise oncology researcher, Tour de Cure scientific breakthrough recipient, and holder of $1M+ in competitive research funding - Valere was built before exercise was in clinical guidelines for cancer care. We are now helping write the next generation of them.
05
Advanced & Metastatic Cancer
Living well with cancer
Exercise is safe with advanced and metastatic cancer. For many people and their families, that's the first thing they need to hear and it's where we start. When cancer is ongoing, the goal shifts: keeping you as strong, as independent, and as well as possible.
We have experience developing programs and evidence that helps you:
-
Exercise safely with metastatic bone lesions, under specialist supervision and in close liaison with your oncology team
-
Reduce bone pain, risk of falls, and fracture
-
Maintain strength and physical function to support treatment tolerance and completion
-
Manage side effects, fatigue, deconditioning, neuropathy, and pain
-
Preserve independence and the ability to do the things that matter to you
-
Work toward goals that are yours
04
Long-Term Survivorship
Ongoing health and recurrence prevention
This phase is about reclaiming your life and protecting it. The work you do here matters more than most people realise. Valere's survivorship programs — designed to help you live longer, live better, and reduce your risk of cancer coming back.
Our Programs help you:
-
Lower all-cause mortality and improve long-term survival outcomes
-
Manage late effects of hormone therapy, bone density loss, body composition, hot flushes, and fatigue
-
Maintain muscle mass, increasingly recognised as a key predictor of survival
-
Monitor strength, fitness, and physical function with regular reassessment
-
Address increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and metabolic conditions
-
Manage fear of recurrence
03
Recovery & Rehabilitation
After treatment ends
Treatment finishing is supposed to feel like good news. And it is but it's also the moment the scaffolding disappears. Recovery doesn't happen on its own, and it rarely follows the timeline anyone expects.
We build programs to help people:
-
Rebuild strength, fitness, and physical function after treatment-related deconditioning
-
Address post-surgical complications including lymphoedema, cording, and continence issues
-
Manage persistent side effects fatigue, neuropathy, bone density loss, and pain
-
Improve sleep, mood, fear of recurrence, and cognitive function
-
Support your return to work and the activities and life that matter to you
-
Manage the physical effects of ongoing hormone therapy
02
Active Treatment
During chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, cellular therapies & targeted drugs
If you've been told to rest during treatment, you're not alone but the evidence no longer supports that advice. Exercise during cancer treatment is not only safe, it can improve side effects, help you tolerate treatment and respond to treatment better.
We are experts at designing programs around your treatment to:
-
Manage treatment side effects fatigue, mood, sleep, nausea, neuropathy, and pain
-
Improve treatment tolerance so you can complete your planned treatment course
-
Support immune function throughout chemotherapy and immunotherapy
-
Maintain muscle mass and manage body composition changes
-
Help treatments work better and improve their effectiveness
-
Program cycles around your treatment schedule, adapted for good days and harder ones
01
Prehabilitation
Before surgery or treatment begins or in the lead up to surgery or transplant
Most people aren't told this window exists. The weeks or months before surgery or treatment or transplant provide an opportunity to arrive stronger, fitter, and better prepared and the evidence shows it can make a measurable difference to what comes next.
-
Reduce the risk of post-surgical complications including lymphoedema, cording, incontinence, and hernias
-
Improve surgical outcomes and reduce time spent in hospital and ICU
-
Strengthen your immune system prior to chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and immune-based treatments
-
Build the physical reserves your body will draw on during treatment
-
Feel in control at a time when little else feels certain
The five-phase care model
We meet you
where you are.
Cancer doesn't follow a straight line — and neither does our model of care. Valere works with people at every stage, from the weeks before surgery or treatment through to long-term survivorship and beyond. Not sure where you fit? Your practitioner will work that out with you at your initial assessment.
Treatment Pathway
Every Valere program begins the same way, with us understanding you. Your history, your treatment, your body, your goals. By the time you leave, you'll have a program built specifically for you and understand the why behind our recommendations - integrating your clinical picture with the latest evidence on what we know influences cancer outcomes.
Initial Assessment
Your diagnosis, treatment protocol, medical history, and goals, reviewed in full alongside assessment of side effects and a functional assessment of your strength, movement, and capacity. We design your home program, map your plan, and educate you on the evidence behind our recommendations.
Your Program
We design programs that include individualised one on one sessions or group sessions, along with providing home programs and working within a collaborative multidisciplinary team. We can also liase directly with your external treating team and ensure programs are adjusted upon symptoms, and bloods.
Reassess & Adjust
As your treatment changes, your program changes with it. We reassess at every stage so you're always working at the right level and measuring progress. We use evidence to guide our assessment protocols to measure outcomes associated with improved survival and quality of life.
Services We Provide
1:1 Exercise Physiology Sessions
Personalised one-on-one exercise oncology sessions, tailored to your diagnosis, treatment stage, and goals. As Brisbane's only dedicated exercise oncology clinic, our cancer exercise specialist Exercise Physiologists design and adapt your program around chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy, whether you're newly diagnosed, mid-treatment, or focused on recovery.
Each session targets the things that matter most: rebuilding strength, managing fatigue, protecting bone and muscle health, improving your immune function, and helping you feel more like yourself. We also tailor your program around bloods and symptoms like fatigue adjusting intensity and exercise selection, so training stays safe through fluctuations in immune function and fatigue.
Available in-clinic, via telehealth, or as a home program for rural and remote clients.
Eligible for Medicare CDM rebates and most private health funds. Cancer-specific funding may also reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Small Group Sessions
Small group exercise oncology sessions (up to 5 people), supervised throughout by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. You get the same individualised exercise prescription as 1:1 care, with the added benefit of training alongside others who understand what you're going through.
We run more than 10 small group classes each week, including groups specifically for men, women, and people living with metastatic cancer, as well as classes with a bone strength focus for clients managing treatment-related bone density loss. Groups are matched by ability and treatment stage, not just diagnosis, so everyone trains at a level that's safe and challenging for them.
For many clients, the social connection built in these sessions is just as valuable as the exercise itself, a community of people who genuinely understand.
Group packs and membership options are available, making regular small group training an affordable way to stay consistent with your exercise oncology care.
Eligible for private health rebates
Home/Self-Directed Programs
A structured, individualised home exercise program designed by your Accredited Exercise Physiologist, for clients who prefer to train independently, travelling to see us, need extra flexibility, or are building consistency between supervised sessions.
Your program is delivered through an easy-to-follow app, with clear instructions, demonstration videos, and regular reviews, so you always know exactly what to do and how to do it safely.
Designed to fit your space whether that's your own home gym, a local gym, or your living room.
Programs are tailored to your diagnosis, treatment stage, and goals, helping you stay active through cancer treatment and beyond, on your own schedule.
Eligible for Medicare CDM rebates and most private health funds. Cancer-specific funding may also reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Telehealth Exercise Physiology
Can't get to Valere? Telehealth exercise oncology sessions bring the same individualised, evidence-based treatment plans to clients across the country, wherever you live. Ideal for rural and remote clients, or anyone managing treatment side effects that make travel difficult.
Your Accredited Exercise Physiologist guides you through each session live via video, adjusting in real time for fatigue, pain, or how you're feeling that day. Sessions are supported through an easy-to-follow app, so you always know exactly what to do between appointments. Initial assessments and home program review scan also be completed online.
We even work with health professionals in your area to upskill their knowledge in cancer and help you achieve your treatment plan with our support

the science
This is what exercise does
for people living with cancer.
Not wellness advice. Clinical evidence.
At Valere, every program is built directly from current oncology exercise research — the same science that is shaping the future of cancer care. When we tell clients about what exercise does to clinical outcomes, the response is always the same: "Why has no one told me this before?" We're telling you now.
Structured exercise improves strength, cardiovascular capacity, bone density, and quality of life allowing you to do the things you love and continue to receive and tolerate treatment. Your program starts where your body is now, and builds progressively from there.
Build strength & function
Exercise is one of the most effective evidence-based interventions for cancer-related fatigue, neuropathy, nausea, pain, lymphoedema, anxiety, depression, "chemo brain" and cognitive changes, and poor sleep among many other treatment side effects. It also improves how well your body tolerates and recovers from treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and transplants
Manage treatment side effects
Exercise doesn’t just make you feel better it can change outcomes. Evidence shows exercise can help your treatments work more effectively, and reduce the risk of cancer returning.
Improve your survival odds & outcomes
Valere Health gave me the motivation and strength when I couldn't find it myself. Not only did it help my physical strength and sore joints, it helped me mentally cope with the treatment. Morgan never failed to put a smile on my face — and I'll be forever grateful.

The exercises made me feel strong, even when I felt pretty crook. The regular classes give me structure in my week and something to look forward to — when everything else feels a little out of control.
