Benefits of Gymclusion

The benefits of Gymclusion  for children with disabilities can be wide-ranging. For many children with disabilities, regular physical activity and exercise can be challenging or even impossible due to the limitations of their condition. Gymclusion provide s a safe and supportive environment for these children to participate in physical activity and exercise, which can have numerous health benefits including:

  • Develop endurance and stamina;
  • Improve hand-eye coordination;
  • Improve find and gross motor skills:
  • Gain confidence in their own strength and mobility.

In addition to the physical benefits of regular exercise, the program can also provide social and emotional benefits for children with disabilities.

Through participation in the Gymclusion program, children with disabilities can develop a sense of belonging and connection with their peers, as well as gain confidence and self-esteem. 

To start making exercise a part of your child’s life, contact our team at (08) 7089 6666 to find out how to join the Gymclusion program.

We welcome NDIS Participants

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that provides support for people with disabilities in Australia. As part of this program, individuals with autism may be eligible for funding to gym-based exercise and therapy. This funding can be used to cover the costs of specialized gym and exercise instruction for individuals with autism, as well as any related equipment or accommodations that may be necessary. To find out more about the NDIS and how it can support individuals with autism, you can visit the NDIS website or contact the NDIS directly.

The Gymclusion program can align with your NDIS plan goal.  We can work with you to help you stretch your NDIS budget further.

There are several ways that an NDIS client might pay for their invoices, but only two ways are available at Gymclusion:

Self-Managed

The client manages their own NDIS plan. They will pay for all of their appointments out of their own pocket, and claim the money back from the NDIS themselves. Self-managed clients are to be treated the same as private paying clients, and they should pay for their appointments on the day.

Plan-Managed

A third-party agency manages the NDIS plan for the client. We send an invoice directly to the third party for payment to be made via EFT. Payment will be deposited in to the bank account and will be receipted in the Nookal system by the manager once it has been paid.

Please note: Gymclusion is not currently registered to provide services to Agency-Managed clients.
