Monash University is conducting a study at Mt Wilga Private Hospital in Hornsby to observe whether personalised rehabilitation can improve the health and wellbeing of people with long-term conditions.
This study runs from 3 March 2026 to 31 May 2027, where eligible participants are allocated a spot in an eight-week program twice weekly.
Named the PERFORM trial, the program includes exercise and education sessions, focused on bringing exercise-based rehabilitation to people who had limited exercise options due to their chronic conditions.
Some conditions eligible include diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis.
Last year, the same program was offered by Mt Wilga and Monash University. For the new sessions, organisers hope for more participants. Those interested are welcome to join at any point during the length of the study.
Participation in the study is free. Individuals have the opportunity to access structured rehabilitation while contributing to important research aimed at improving care for people with multiple chronic conditions.
