EXPHYS Supporting One Foot Forward for Mental Health Research

This October, during Mental Health Month, the EXPHYS team are joining the Black Dog Institute to help create better mental health for all Australians. We are walking, running and moving towards our distance and fundraising goal.


This year we have four regional teams, within our EXPHYS team. This creates regional team connectedness and some healthy competition.


👟 EXPHYS QLD

👟 EXPHYS NSW

👟 EXPHYS VIC, TAS

👟 EXPHYS WA


We’ve set an EXPHYS distance goal of 1,390km and aim to beat last year’s fundraising amount to help reduce the impact of mental illness for all Australians.


EXPHYS also improves the mental health of Australia through our BETTER MOOD Program. This program focusses on restoring mental function under the expert guidance of a mental health exercise physiologist, trained in Mental Health First Aid. Unlock the natural medicine cabinet of the brain and harnesses the social benefits from exercise. Be supported through meaningful connection using an exercise buddy, community, and wearable technology.

Walking Together. Standing Together. Stronger Together.

☕ Making Room for Connection. This Loneliness Awareness Week our head office team took time to step away from our desks, share a coffee, and check in with one another. Connection is a key part of the EXPHYS BETTER Mood Program, where we support clients to improve their mental health and wellbeing through meaningful social connection. Whether that's joining a community exercise group or facility, or exercising with a friend, family member, support person, or even a pet. Small moments of connection can make a big difference.

2026 National Pain Week This National Pain Week, we are recognising the role pain science education, exercise physiology and professional support can play in helping people living with chronic pain. Coordinated annually by Chronic Pain Australia, the week aims to raise awareness of the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain and reduce the stigma surrounding the condition. Pain science uses current scientific evidence to understand pain, why it can persist and what supports recovery. The EXPHYS BETTER Pain Program combines evidence-based pain science, functional upgrading and exercise physiology to support meaningful recovery for people living with chronic pain.
