Allied Health Assistant Services
What is an Allied Health Assistant?
Allied Health Assistants play a vital role in supporting the delivery of therapy plans alongside our senior therapists. They offer additional services to children, typically in home or school settings, complementing appointments with Speech Pathologists or Occupational Therapists. Under the guidance of senior therapists, assistants ensure activities align with NDIS and therapy objectives. This service facilitates children receiving supplementary therapy in environments where availability or funding may be limited.
Who are They?
Our Allied Health Assistants are university students pursuing degrees in Occupational Therapy or Speech Pathology. They bring enthusiasm, dedication, and fresh perspectives to therapy sessions, under the supervision of experienced therapists.
Time Frame:
Sessions are organised into 6-month blocks, corresponding to the academic semesters (Semester 1 and Semester 2). This structure accommodates the assistants’ university timetables and facilitates smooth transitions, as discharge may be required.
Cost:
60 minutes: $86.79
45 minutes: $65.09
(Cost includes therapy sessions and essential administrative, preparation, and coordination activities that directly contribute to the effectiveness of therapy but occur outside of face-to-face sessions.)
Our Allied Health Assistant Services offer affordable and accessible opportunities for children to receive additional therapy support tailored to their needs and environments. For further inquiries or to schedule sessions, please reach out to us.
Blast Off is our innovative therapy extension program designed for busy families and those seeking additional support beyond the clinic.

Whether it’s challenging to schedule multiple sessions, complete at-home exercises, or manage the costs of intensive therapy, Blast Off is the boost your child needs.
With a focus on consistency and convenience, AHAs deliver therapy at home or school, aligning closely with therapists to achieve session goals and facilitate weekly home tasks. This program is the thrust your child needs to propel their progress forward.
