Canberra, ACT | Full-time | $70,000 - $88,000 + super | Company Car | Relocation assistance available

Are you an Accredited Exercise Physiologist looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference to people's lives - while having the support, mentorship and flexibility to build your career?

Mars Healthcare is representing a well-established national rehabilitation provider in the search for a Community Exercise Physiologist to join their Canberra team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an AEP who enjoys working with people, values evidence-based practice and wants to be part of a close-knit team where clinical development and doing great work actually matter.

Why this role?

You won't be sitting in a clinic all day.

You'll work out in the community, meeting clients where they are and delivering individualised exercise and rehabilitation programs designed around their goals, recovery and return to work.

You'll also have the backing of an experienced Canberra team, including 3 Clinical Performance Leads and 10 clinicians, creating a genuinely collaborative environment with plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions and develop your skills.

You'll have access to:

• $70,000 - $88,000 + super, depending on experience and skill set
• Company vehicle for community-based work & Personal Use
• Structured mentorship from senior clinicians and leaders
• Internal learning and development platforms
• Regular team collaboration and clinical support
• A supportive team environment with experienced clinicians around you
• Opportunities to contribute to student placements and support Allied Health Assistants
• A role focused on meaningful client outcomes rather than simply ticking boxes
• Opportunities for professional and career development

What you’ll be doing

As a Community Exercise Physiologist, you’ll work with people recovering from injury or illness, predominantly across Workers' Compensation, CTP and Life Insurance schemes.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Completing assessments and developing individualised management plans
• Prescribing and delivering evidence-based exercise programs
• Working with clients in the community to support their recovery
• Developing functional exercise programs aligned with individual goals and return-to-work outcomes
• Providing education to build client confidence and independence​
• Working collaboratively with other health professionals and key stakeholders
• Communicating regularly with referrers and other professionals involved in each client's recovery
• Preparing reports, progress updates and recommendations
• Building strong professional relationships with referrers and stakeholders
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation and client files
• Contributing to a culture of continuous learning, feedback and clinical excellence

The role is particularly suited to someone who enjoys building relationships, working autonomously and seeing the practical impact of their work.

Relocating to Canberra?

If you're currently interstate and considering a move to Canberra, the organisation is prepared to provide meaningful relocation support to make the transition easier.

Depending on your circumstances, this can include:

• Flights to Canberra, or up to $1,500 towards driving costs
• Up to 4 weeks of temporary accommodation, valued at $2,500
• Return flights to your original location every 12 months of service
• Up to $1,500 towards moving personal belongings or setting up your permanent residence

There is flexibility in how the relocation package is structured, with the aim of making it as useful as possible for you and your individual circumstances.

About you

You’ll be an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who enjoys working with people and is motivated by achieving meaningful outcomes.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• A degree qualification in Exercise Physiology
• Current ESSA accreditation as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist
• A current C Class Driver's Licence
• A valid National Police Check
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• The ability to build rapport with clients and stakeholders
• Excellent time management and organisational skills
• The confidence to work autonomously while contributing to a wider team
• A genuine growth mindset and willingness to learn

Experience working within personal injury schemes such as Workers' Compensation, CTP or Life Insurance would be highly regarded, but is not essential.

The team

This Canberra team is one of the organisation’s highest-performing locations, but importantly, it has maintained a close-knit and supportive culture.

You’ll be joining 10 clinicians supported by 3 Clinical Performance Leads, giving you access to experienced people around you while still having the autonomy that comes with a community-based role.

The broader organisation places a strong emphasis on being genuine, supportive, accountable and always looking for ways to improve.

If you’re looking for a role where you can develop clinically, build strong professional relationships and genuinely influence someone’s recovery, this could be an excellent next step.
