How exercise physiology is changing cancer care

ESSA’s 2024 Practice of the Year, Activate Health and Movement - Allied Health Services, has partnered with the Shoalhaven Cancer Centre to deliver the region’s first free Oncology Exercise Program.

Each participant receives a personalised exercise plan designed by Accredited Exercise Physiologists, with real-time technology used to track progress and support recovery.

This initiative is helping people living with cancer build strength, confidence, and connection through movement.

🟡 Today is R U OK? Day 🟡
Today, on R U OK? Day, we’re reminding everyone that a conversation could change a life. Not just today on R U OK? Day but every day.
A simple question can make a big difference.
Take a moment to check in with a friend, colleague, or loved one. Ask genuinely:
"R U OK?"
And be ready to listen. 💛
You don’t need to have all the answers — just your time and support can mean the world.
Together, we can help create a culture where people feel safe to speak up and seek help.
