1 year anniversary for Alison and Compass! 💜🖤
On this day last year, Alison came to us for rehabilitation and management for some musculoskeletal conditions/injuries that have severely impacted her life.

Fast forward 12 months, Alison’s commitment and dedication to her Exercise Physiology sessions has improved her functional capacity immensely, which has given her a new lease on life with so many more opportunities to do things she once thought wouldn’t have been possible!

Alison gained great confidence in her walking and her improvement of her aerobic capacity was evident when she completed the a 1.6km walk/run event at Fred Smith Reserve Walk/Run in Hastings a couple of months ago! With a personal best time from her practice walks leading up to it! 👏

Keep kicking goals Alison! The sky is the limit, and we love seeing people like you showing your reward for effort! 😊

Remedial Massage Therapy Available at 🙌🏼
Welcome to the Compass team Giacomo Stevanato! 💜🧭

We are excited to announce the addition of Remedial Massage to the services we provide at Compass Allied Health!

More about Giac:

I am a qualified remedial massage therapist and sports trainer, and I am currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise Science. I first entered this field after completing my Diploma of Remedial Massage at Victoria University. Since then, I have worked with the Western Bulldogs in the AFL as well as a private chiropractic clinic and a Sports Medicine clinic.

My passion for injury management and recovery comes from playing soccer all my life and having had my fair share of injuries. Because of that, I know what it’s like to go through rehab, and I love helping others get back to doing what they love, whether it is sports, training, or just moving better. In addition to sports, other areas of professional interest include lower back and neck pain as well as management and recovery to complement an individual’s gym program.

Outside of work, I am passionate about sports, whether it’s soccer, running, or hitting the gym. I also enjoy spending time outdoors at the beach, hiking, or bushwalking around the Mornington Peninsula.

To book an appointment with Giac, please contact us via either Insta message or calling us during our business hours from 8:00am-6.00pm Monday to Friday.

📣 MEDICARE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

Great News in Australia for those needing Exercise Physiology

Young people with complex neurodevelopmental disorders to access exercise physiology services

The exercise physiology services will be provided face-to-face, video, phone and through time tiered case conferences. The new codes will be available from July 1, 2025.

“We deeply appreciate the work of the MBS Review Taskforce on primary care,” Smith said.

“This development has come through comprehensive consultation and understanding of the value of the work of Accredited Exercise Physiologists in the health sector.

“On behalf of our members, we will continue to work with the Department of Health and Aged Care to get the best outcomes for health care across the country.”

From 1 July 2025, Accredited Exercise Physiologists will be eligible to render MBS services using face-to-face items 82030 and 82035, video items 93033 and 93036, and phone items 93041 and 93044. Accredited Exercise Physiologists will also be eligible to participate in time tiered case conference services 82001, 82002 and 82003.

These changes were endorsed by the MBS Review Taskforce following consultation and recommendation by the Allied Health Reference Group as per the Report from the MBS Review Taskforce on Primary Care.

The department will prepare a factsheet outlining these changes and publish it on MBS Online in the lead up to 1 July 2025.

Young people with complex neurodevelopmental disorders will now be able to access subsidised exercise physiology services from July 1, following a major Medicare development.
