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

20191119_212908273_iOS.heic

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

If you are interested in a group class you must complete an initial assessment to help us understand your history and goals and allow us to fit you in the most appropriate group and design a personalised program.

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.

Funding exercise as part of treatment

The funding scheme that Valere Health encourages clients to use is via Medicare.
 
Medicare provide access to five (5) rebates for allied health which includes Exercise Physiology through a scheme they call an GP management plan (GPMP), Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC) or Team Care Arrangement.

Australians are eligible for this program every calendar year. It will provide you with 5x rebates of $60.30 (this changes with inflation).
 
You need a referral from your General Practitioner (GP) to access this program. Download this template letter for your GP.  

This letter explains the scheme and the benefits of exercise for people with a cancer diagnosis. If you need further information for your GP, please get in touch and we will provide more detailed information to take to your appointment.

Private Health Coverage
Exercise physiology services are also covered through private health extras cover. Valere Health has a HICAPS machine where you can claim onsite. If you are unsure if your extra cover includes Exercise Physiology, you can call your provider and check. Generally, clients get anywhere from $10 to $85 back from their private health extras cover.
