Allied Health Assistant
Within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) serves to support you to complete exercises under the direct supervision of a registered Allied Health Professional (AHP). AHAs play a vital role in implementing customized therapy plans helping you reach your goals.
Support Work
Under the NDIS, a support worker plays a key role in promoting community participation and maintaining physical activity for participants. They assist individuals in engaging with their local community through activities such as attending social groups, recreational programs, or community events. Support workers also help participants stay active by encouraging and supporting involvement in exercise routines, walking, swimming, or attending fitness classes. Their support helps build confidence, improve physical wellbeing, and foster social connections, all while aligning with the goals outlined in the participant's NDIS plan.
