Jacqui (Jac) Agostinello
Founder and Director, Senior Clinician Physiotherapist
Active Edge Physio founder and director Jac (she/her) is a neurotrauma specialist with extensive experience supporting people with complex neurological and respiratory conditions across intensive care, acute wards, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, and community settings.

Jacqui is passionate about empowering people living with neuromuscular disorders to optimise and maintain their respiratory health so they can continue engaging in the life that matters most to them.

Her approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care, with a strong focus on practical, individualised strategies that support long-term wellbeing and meaningful participation in daily life.
Alongside her clinical work, Jacqui is deeply committed to supporting and strengthening the broader healthcare community through education, research, and professional development. Her work has focused particularly on respiratory dysfunction in people living with spinal cord injury, with the aim of improving outcomes, building clinician confidence, and helping teams deliver proactive, person-centred neuro-respiratory care across the continuum.
Jacqui values building genuine relationships with clients, families, and healthcare teams, recognising the importance of trust, communication, and working together to create positive and lasting impact.
Outside of work, Jacqui is a proud mum of three boys and enjoys spending quality time with her family, often cheering her children on at their sporting activities. Like many working parents, she understands the constant juggle of balancing family life, work, and the endless logistics that come with both — usually with a coffee in hand.
