What is the cost of a Hearts In Motion class?

For private clients, per session payment packages are available. Subsidised sessions may also be available through some compensable schemes if you are eligible. Please contact your nearest clinic directly to find out more.

Do I need an assessment prior to commencing the class?

If you have been referred directly from your cardiac rehabilitation coordinator then you may not require an initial assessment before beginning the classes. If you are self-referring to the class then you will need an assessment prior to commencing the class. It will be conducted before you begin your group class and will allow your exercise physiologist to gain an understanding of your goals and capabilities.

What do the classes involve?

The Hearts In Motion classes involve once weekly group exercise sessions. The classes are run by our accredited exercise physiologists and consist of a combination of aerobic and strength based exercises. All exercises are modified for individual abilities.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

In Australia, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and exercise physiologists are first contact practitioners, so a referral is not required to attend for treatment. There are, however, a few exceptions (worker’s compensation claims, Department of Veteran Affairs, motor vehicle third party claims and Medicare claims) where you will need to see your doctor prior to attending.

Is there a cancellation policy?
