therapy assistance
that comes to you
At Fleet Healthcare, our therapy assistants (also known as Allied Health Assistants) work closely with our registered therapists to provide practical, cost-effective support for people of all ages. Whether you are an NDIS participant, Aged Care participant or accessing services privately, therapy assistants can play a key role in helping you achieve your therapy goals.
What is Therapy Assistance?
Therapy assistance involves a qualified therapy assistant delivering care under the direct or indirect supervision of a registered therapist. Their role is to implement therapy plans and support day-to-day activities, ensuring participants continue to make progress between appointments with their therapist.
Under the NDIS, therapy assistance sits within the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living (CB Daily Activity) budget. This provides participants with a more affordable way to receive regular support while staying on track with their therapy goals.
How Therapy Assistants Work
Our therapy assistants support clients in a hands-on and practical way, guided by a therapist’s plan.
- Supervision – A therapist delegates specific tasks and ensures the assistant is competent to carry them out.
- Implementation – The assistant works one-on-one with the client, helping them complete exercises, activities, and routines.
- Value for Money – Therapy assistants provide a more cost-effective solution than having all sessions delivered by a therapist, allowing NDIS funding to go further.
Benefits of Therapy Assistance
- Increased Access:
Therapy assistants help make services more available.
- Cost-Effectiveness:
Sessions with a therapy assistant are lower in cost compared to seeing a therapist directly, maximising the use of your Private, Aged Care, or NDIS plan funding. - Continuity of Care:
Assistants provide ongoing support between therapy sessions, helping maintain consistency and momentum towards goals.
Therapy Assistant and the NDIS
For NDIS participants, therapy assistance is a recognised and funded support. It enables you to continue working towards your therapy goals with structured, supervised guidance at a lower cost. This makes therapy assistants an effective option for stretching your funding while still receiving professional, high-quality care.
For those not covered under the NDIS, therapy assistant appointments can also be arranged on a private basis or for My Aged Care participants through their Home Care Package / Support At Home Program Funding.
Why Choose Fleet Healthcare?
Fleet Healthcare is committed to delivering therapy assistant NDIS, Aged Care, and Private services that are personalised, supportive, and effective. Our assistants are part of a wider allied health team, ensuring that every activity is tailored to your unique needs and supervised by qualified professionals.
