Projects

National Working Party (1996-7) that developed the Knowledge, Skills and
Competency Criteria for accreditation of Exercise Physiologists in

1999 2000 Invited member of the ESSA (Victoria) Working Party that developed a
submission to the Victorian WorkCover Authority (VWA) for the issuance of

State Authority to grant Provider status to Accredited Exercise Physiologists

professional recognition of the AEP by various other authorities, including
Medicare Australia. The VWA decision was the landmark decision that led to
these other successes.
