Exercise Right For Active Ageing (ERAA)

Exercise Right for Active Ageing is a national program designed for older Australians over 65 (or Indigenous Australians who are over 55) funded by the Australian Government under the Move it AUS – Better Ageing Grants Program.

About the Program

Each week you will be provided with a different exercise and health-related theme and have access to educational material for the weekly topic and an accompanying home exercise program to assist with the ongoing completion of exercises and activities to reach your specific health and fitness goals.

The group program is facilitated by our Accredited Exercise Physiologists at Atrium Exercise Physiology and has been designed to help those over 65 years or older lead an active lifestyle. Before a participant commences the class, they are individually assessed so that our programs can be suited to your conditions, needs, and goals.
