All ABILITIES
All ABILITIES Program
AUSactive launched the All ABILITIES initiative in 2022 with support from the Australian Government. AUSactive registered businesses across the nation have successfully run the 12 week exercise program for over 350 participants.
The All ABILITIES (Australia Brings Inclusivity to Life, Through Innovation, Transformation in an Exercising Society) program aims to drive organisational change to health and fitness businesses to enhance the lives of the broader community. Through education and partnerships between disability service providers and AUSactive registered fitness businesses, there will be a more significant opportunity for safe and effective group exercise participation for people with disabilities.

All ABILITIES Program Testimonials
Participants
The All ABILITIES program is a 12 week supervised exercise program that is running at nominated registered AUSactive fitness businesses nationally.
The supervised program is delivered by Registered Exercise Professionals who have undertaken additional education training in inclusive practice delivery.
You will be required to complete an initial assessment prior to commencing the program.
Professionals
The All ABILITIES program assists registered fitness businesses (RFBs) and registered exercise professionals (REPs) to be leaders in inclusive practice delivery, develop sustainable relationships and referral pathways to local disability providers.
The program provides RFBs and REPs with educational training through the UFIT program to be upskilled in inclusive practice delivery. 3 CECs are available for the UFIT Management course and 4 CECs are available for the UFIT Exercise professionals course.
REPs use their prior skills and knowledge, and new training in inclusive practice to develop and implement an All ABILITIES program to run in their facility
Disability Services
The establishment of a partnership with disability service providers (DSP) and RFB is important to ensure the sustainability of the program.
Key roles DSP will play in the program:
- Provide knowledge and expertise on your target group of participants to RFB and REP
- Discuss the program with the participant, their family, support workers and carers including program outcomes, cost, accessibility, and personal support
- Refer participants to RFB, aiming to increase their level of physical activity (develop ongoing referral pathway)
- Connect RFB and participants with local allied health professionals and other DSP
- Develop sustainable relationships ongoing with RFB and REP.
