Part A
Case study – Provide referral (15 marks)
Task:
1. Provide a profile of a medical and/or allied health professional who could be chosen to
communicate with about the case study client outlined below. You will need to communicate
with a medical and/or allied health professional in regards to clearance before prescribing an
exercise program. This will depend on the type/s of medical and allied health professionals
chosen – that is, if the person is only suited to treating patients of a medical nature, an additional
letter and report to an allied health professional may be necessary. Outline their area of expertise
to justify your referral to this medical and/allied health professional. Provide evidence of your
communication with this medical and/or allied health professional.
2. Using the above information, prepare a letter to a relevant medical and/or allied health
professional in regards to the client’s results on his pre-exercise screening form. The letter is to
contain an introduction and an overview of your requirements – that is, you will require
clearance and guidance in order to deliver a fitness program for the client.
3. Prepare a report to support this letter that outlines:
● the results of the pre-exercise screening form and fitness test
● request for clearance to perform these exercises and activities, and/or clearance to perform
alternatives as suggested by the medical and/or allied health professional
● the client’s fitness goals and your view on his goals
● an outline of the client’s risk factors and why these risk factors are beyond your area of
expertise.
Case study – Peter
Peter is a 51-year-old male client at the gym. He has been referred from a doctor. He was recently
involved in a motor vehicle accident (three months ago). Peter suffered from a fractured tibia in the
car accident, which was operated on, and then placed in a plaster of Paris cast for six weeks. He has
recovered well from this operation. The bone is in good condition and cleared for exercise following

some early rounds of physiotherapy. Peter’s doctor has recommended that he start going to the gym
to get fit and healthy again. Prior to his motor vehicle accident Peter walked daily, but he has never
exercised in a gym before. Peter reports feeling very tight in the calf muscles and ankle since the
plaster was removed six weeks ago. Peter’s other health information, as provided by his doctor,
includes:
● a blood pressure reading of 142/92 bpm
● asthma (he takes ventolin)
● poor eating habits, such as frequent takeaway lunches at work and dinner, skipping breakfast.
Note: Although this doctor has suggested that Peter join a gym, you should still assume that you will
require clearance from the relevant medical and/or allied health professionals prior to exercise
testing and/or programming when considering Peter’s medical and health status.

situations. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure you complete this task to the detailed level
required. You will need to provide a variety of evidence, such as supervisor reports, letters, DVD
recordings and so on. This assessment will need to be performed over a period of time to ensure you
have adequate time to provide the evidence of competency required.

1. Access information from at least three clients with health or medical concerns that require
medical or allied health professional expertise. Use pre-test screening information and seek
additional health information from the clients as required.
2. Analyse health information to determine the need for referral and guidance. Recommend the
client seek advice from medical or health professionals as required and arrange the referral with
permission, consent and within confidentiality and privacy standards.

Portfolio – Case management (20 marks)
You are to demonstrate a collection of evidence in a portfolio showing your ability to be part of an
entire case management file for two different clients. The goal is to be part of a team that is
managing a client for a particular concern, such as recovery after a motor vehicle accident or other
injury, Type 2 diabetes management and so on. This should involve liaising with local medical and/or
allied health professionals. An example of an appropriate case may include, but are not limited to
the following:
● a pregnant client who has been referred to the gym for an exercise program during her
pregnancy
● a postmenopausal client who has been referred to the gym for a weight-bearing cardiovascular
program and a resistance program to minimise the risk of the onset of osteoporosis
● a client you have referred who has presented to the gym with risk factors warranting guidance
and clearance from a doctor. You then continue managing this client under the care and
supervision of a doctor or allied health professional.
Check your case management file is appropriate with your trainer before submission. You will need
to submit all necessary documentation to support your claims of competency.
Note: One of your cases should include receiving at least one referral, while the other case should
involve you making at least one referral. Some cases may involve more than one medical and/or
allied health professional. If the client is not officially ‘discharged’ from the medical and/or allied
health professional, the case should be managed for at least two months to ensure adequate time to
demonstrate competency in this task.
