5 Years Of RoboFit
RoboFit is celebrating 5 years and we're just getting started!
The past five years have been filled with learnings, milestones, challenges, and moments of real hope. To everyone who has been part of the journey, whether from day one or just recently… thank you.
RoboFit has always been more than a clinic. It’s a community built on belief, persistence, and the drive to help more Australians achieve what once felt out of reach.
Our values guide everything we do:
Never say never. We win together. Spread joy. Drive change. Pick up the broom. Climb mountains.
Over time, these haven’t just stayed within our walls — they’ve been adopted by our community.
Our Story And Why?: RoboFit
RoboFit began with two 20-year-olds searching for something more, better access, better outcomes, and more opportunity for themselves and for others.
It’s the result of an eight-year journey led by husband and wife duo, Maryanne Harris and Daniel Hillyer.
After a balcony collapse in 2010, Daniel was diagnosed with quadriplegia and told he would never move from the neck down again. It was a life-changing moment and one they refused to accept as final.
With a background in exercise science, Maryanne began exploring the future of rehabilitation. This led them across the world, into labs, conferences, and eventually a partnership with Cyberdyne in Japan.
Through Cyberdyne’s HAL technology, Daniel regained motor and sensory function that was once thought lost, proving that “never say never” isn’t just a phrase, it’s real.
Where Are We Today ...
Five years since opening our doors, RoboFit has grown into something truly special.

What once started as a personal mission is now helping hundreds of people living with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. And a big thanks to our clinicians from the start to now. If it wasn’t for them and their belief in our dream RoboFit wouldn’t be here today
Dan was told “no” too many times. That’s why today, we focus on saying “yes” and finding a way forward.
