A letter from our founder
Acknowledging the people, partnerships and shared purpose that have shaped EXPHYS over the past 21 years.
To everyone who has been part of the EXPHYS journey,
This month marks a milestone I find both humbling and rewarding. Twenty-one years ago, EXPHYS was founded with a clear purpose, to enhance the life and work performance of Australians through optimal health. Looking back on that journey and the impact we've made is something I'm incredibly proud of.
Established in Sydney in 2005, EXPHYS was built on the belief that workplace and insurance healthcare should be proactive, empowering and focused on function. We challenged traditional approaches by adopting an active, evidence-based model designed to improve outcomes for individuals, businesses and the broader industry. This philosophy continues to guide us today.
From those early beginnings, EXPHYS has grown into a national provider of health, wellbeing, exercise physiology and return-to-work programs, while remaining proudly Australian owned. We partner with life insurance, workers compensation and motor accident insurers, national and multinational employers, superannuation funds, global reinsurers, government departments, brokers and private health insurers. Most importantly, we remain passionate about optimising the health of Australians through exceptional service, products and partnerships.
Over the past several years, our commitment to measurable outcomes, innovation and evidence-based practice has been recognised through winning industry awards, finalist achievements, research contributions and national media recognition. From pioneering exercise oncology, mental health and pain coaching programs, to integrating wearable technology, digital health solutions and virtual reality, we have continually evolved to deliver better outcomes for the people we support.
None of this would be possible without the people behind EXPHYS. Our team collectively brings more than 200 years of clinical experience, supported by a strong national leadership structure across clinical and rehabilitation expertise, innovation and program development, business partnerships, marketing and communications, and operational excellence. Underpinning everything we do are the values that have guided us from the very beginning, care, trust and innovation, which continue to shape how we work with our partners and support every individual we engage with.
As we look to the future, our focus is on enhancing experiences for partners and clients, leveraging technology and data to improve outcomes, and combining healthcare expertise with intelligent tools to deliver outcomes at scale.
To our partners, clients and colleagues, thank you for being part of the EXPHYS journey. Together, we have supported more than 12,000 individuals to improve their health for life and work. I am excited about what lies ahead and look forward to continuing this journey with you.
Warm regards,
Chris Sinclair
