WorkCover, TAC and Exercise Physiology

Injury rehab funded through WorkCover or TAC — no upfront cost.

WorkCover Victoria and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) both fund Exercise Physiology as part of an approved rehabilitation plan. If your claim has been accepted, your sessions at Beachside EP may be fully covered with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

At Beachside EP we are a WorkCover-approved provider. We manage all billing and communicate directly with your case manager, so you can focus entirely on your recovery and getting back to work.

Exercise Physiology is particularly effective in the WorkCover and TAC context because it focuses on measurable functional outcomes — strength, capacity, and the specific physical demands of your job — rather than passive treatment alone.
