About Uplift
Our Story
Uplift Exercise Physiology was founded in Newcastle, 2019, by Accredited Exercise Physiologist Jason Korotkich. Jason recognised the growing need for high quality Exercise Physiology services in and around his local areas of Newcastle, Central Coast, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. After many months of (politely) persuading his partner and fellow Exercise Physiologist Georgia Kelaher, Uplift was formed!
Over the years, as a result of a high focus on customer service, communication and quality exercise, Uplift has gradually grown to become on of the largest and most renowned providers of quality Exercise Physiology care in the region.
At the core of our business is our Team – ‘Team Uplift’ is a diverse, highly educated, hard-working, and of course uplifiting team of Exercise Physiologists. We don’t judge people, we meet them where they are at, and collaborate to achieve goals together. It is this ethos that has led ‘Team Uplift’ to become recognised as an industry leader when it comes to helping: people who have been injured at work (Workers Compensation), people who have been injured in a motor vehicle accident (CTP), people with a disability (NDIS), and seniors (Support at Home).
In early 2025, the Uplift team welcomed co-founder Georgia Kelaher to the team as an Operations Manager after she spent several years carving out her own career building and managing teams of Exercise Physiologist’s in the Aged Care sector.
In addition to providing quality care to customers, Uplift is extremely proud of giving opportunities to placement students and new Exercise Physiologists in the industry. Several of our placements students have progressed into fulltime roles with our company and are now supporting people in our community with quality exercise care every day!
It has been an exciting and dynamic journey so far, but we wouldn’t change a thing – we look forward to continuing to develop the Exercise Physiology profession into the future.
