Allied Health Assistant
An Allied Health Assistant (AHA) supports allied health professionals by helping NDIS participants incorporate therapeutic activities into daily routines, building skills, and improving functional capacity.
Under the direction of therapists, our AHAs implement individual and group therapy programs, provide direct client support and care, and perform administrative and clinical tasks to enhance therapy services’ efficiency and effectiveness.
Provisional Psychologist
Our provisional psychologist provides expert support to help individuals understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and their impact on overall mental health and well-being. Using evidence-based approaches, they develop tailored strategies to support a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low mood, and general well-being. Working under the supervision of a registered psychologist, their approach focuses on practical, sustainable techniques to help individuals build resilience and achieve their personal goals.
