Great to see Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) Devlin Higgins featured in The Australian, highlighting the powerful role exercise plays in both physical and mental health.

In his work at St Vincent’s Hospital, Devlin supports patients recovering from physical and mental injuries through structured, evidence-based exercise programs. His work is a reminder that AEPs are essential in mental health care, helping people recover, build resilience, and thrive.

Great to see media coverage of a new national consensus statement on Hypertension in ALLIED Magazine. The statement includes a recommendation for accredited exercise professionals to measure blood pressure during exercise testing, a simple step that could detect thousands of undiagnosed hypertension cases and prevent heart attacks and strokes.

1 in 3 Australian adults has high blood pressure, and many don’t know it. Research led by Associate Professor Martin Schultz from the University of Tasmania shows that adding blood pressure checks to existing exercise tests can help uncover hidden cardiovascular risks. Endorsed by Hypertension Australia, Australian Cardiovascular Alliance, and the National Hypertension Taskforce, these guidelines equip Accredited Exercise Physiologists to lead the charge in early detection.

Accredited Exercise Physiologist Dr Michael Inskip and his team have been conducting groundbreaking research into using exercise to improve quality of life in aged care.

"I realised we could – and should – be doing more than just making people comfortable. We should be helping them regain strength and independence wherever possible," Dr Inskip said.

He is committed to shifting the paradigm in aged care to promote active health improvement.

Thank you to 7NEWS Townsville for sharing this important work.
