What are the benefits?

CPA Fit Pass

Our clients can self-fund access to our hydrotherapy pool and accessible gym with the CPA Fit Pass. This pass gives you access to our accessible gyms, so you can train at a time that suits you. Our fully accessible hydrotherapy pool is heated to a comfortable 32-34 degrees. The facility includes plinths within the change rooms and hoist or ramp access with pool chairs available. 

CPA’s fully accessible gym offers people with cerebral palsy and similar conditions access to specialised equipment, in a practical and supportive exercise environment. Following an assessment by your therapist, an individualised program will be developed for you. Your regular support worker can then assist you with your exercises, or you can complete them independently using these CPA facilities.

Available at CPA Allambie Heights centre only.
