WeFlex is a registered NDIS provider. We connect people with a disability to Support Professionals for personal training and other supports.
Whether these supports can be funded through your NDIS plan depends on your individual goals, the support categories funded in your plan and how your plan is managed (agency-managed, plan-managed or self-managed).
The best way to understand your options is to talk it through with us. Call 1300 WEFLEX to discuss your individual circumstances or get in touch via our Contact Form.
Yes, WeFlex is a registered NDIS provider. Depending on your individual plan, some of our services may be funded through your NDIS funding.
Disability personal training is personalised support, tailored to your individual goals and delivered by Qualified Personal Trainers experienced in working with people with a disability. If it’s funded through your NDIS plan, personal training generally falls under Capacity Building, depending on your goals and how your plan is structured. It’s designed to give you access to inclusive and meaningful support that’s tailored to you.
Disability personal training is tailored to your disability-related goals, needs and preferences. Unlike regular personal training, the focus isn’t only on fitness, it’s about supporting functional goals such as mobility, independence, social participation or confidence. Sessions are adapted for accessibility and delivered by Qualified Personal Trainers experienced in disability inclusion. Depending on your individual plan, these sessions may be funded through your NDIS funding.
Personal training is funded by the NDIS only when it is a reasonable and necessary support that directly helps you work towards the disability-related goals in your plan, such as improving mobility, independence or community participation. It is not funded as general fitness, weight loss or a gym membership. So, if personal training is part of your plan and aligns with your goals, it may be funded. If you’re unsure whether personal training fits your plan, WeFlex can help you understand your options.
WeFlex Support Professionals hold the relevant industry-standard qualifications for the services they deliver. On top of that, they all complete NDIS Worker Screening, the NDIS Worker Orientation Module and WeFlex’s own training program, which is co-designed with people living with disability.
Every WeFlex Support Professional completes core disability inclusion training. From there, they can upskill and specialise across a wide range of needs. Whatever your needs, we’ll match you with a Support Professional who understands them, so you feel comfortable and supported throughout.
Anywhere you wish, be it at the local gym, the park, fitness studios, at your service provider or in your home. Contact us to enquire about supports in your local area.
WeFlex works with people of all ages. Whether supports are funded through the NDIS depends on your individual plan and what it allows; where they aren’t, you’re welcome to work with WeFlex on a self-funded basis. Please note that all Support Professionals working with participants under 18 must hold a valid Working with Children Check.
At WeFlex, our supports are all about helping you live more independently and do more of what matters to you. That might mean building strength and mobility, gaining confidence, developing everyday skills or getting more involved in your community, always shaped around your individual goals.
As an NDIS provider, we can deliver these supports through your plan when they’re connected to your goals.
As well as personal training, WeFlex offers support work, skill development, therapy supports and allied health services like exercise physiology, physio and Occupational Therapy, so we can match the right support to what you’re working towards.
The NDIS doesn’t cover the cost of a gym membership. Some of our Support Professionals deliver support from their own gyms and membership fees don’t apply.

We ask for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Please give this notice directly to your Support Professional (by phone or SMS) and to WeFlex. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given or a session isn’t attended, a short notice cancellation fee equivalent to 100% of the agreed session rate will apply, in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. Giving as much notice as you can means a great deal, it helps us respect our Support Professionals’ time and make the most of your NDIS funding. Full cancellation terms are set out in your WeFlex Service Agreement.
Depending on your plan, travel can be covered and your Support Professional can assist you with getting to and from your support sessions and getting out and about in the community.
