Australians shouldn’t be paying tax on essential healthcare, but right now, they do.
Exercise physiologists are essential to help people manage conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and mental illness. But there’s a catch: it’s still taxed.
Under current legislation, exercise physiology is still subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST). That means Australians pay an extra 10% every time they see an exercise physiologist.
What this means:
❌️ Higher costs for patients managing chronic illness and injury
❌️ Barriers to access for vulnerable communities
❌️ Disincentives to use effective, preventive care
