What is an Allied Health Assistant (AHA)?

Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) play an important role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disability. Working under the guidance of Allied Health professionals - such as physiotherapistsoccupational therapists, and speech pathologists  - AHAs assist NDIS participants in implementing their support plans and achieving their goals more efficiently. This may involve integrating recommended therapeutic activities into daily routines to promote ongoing progress.

Their role is essential in ensuring the effective and consistent delivery of healthcare services, particularly for participants who require hands-on, continuous support.

How can an AHA help someone with a disability?

An Allied Health Assistant provides a variety of services aimed at supporting NDIS participants and helping them maximise their NDIS funding, including:

 

  • Implementing Therapy Plans: AHAs assist in carrying out the therapy plans designed by allied health professionals, ensuring that individuals receive consistent and effective treatment.
  • Skill Development: They support individuals in developing essential skills, such as mobility, communication, and daily living activities, through targeted exercises and activities.
  • Ongoing Support and Motivation: AHAs provide regular encouragement and assistance, helping participants stay motivated and engaged in their therapy programs.
  • Monitoring Progress: They observe and document participants' progress, providing valuable feedback to the supervising health professionals for necessary adjustments in treatment plans.
  • Personalised Care: AHAs deliver personalised care tailored to the specific needs and goals of each individual, ensuring a supportive and nurturing environment.
  • Better access to services: For those living in a remote area or where there’s a high demand for available therapists, AHAs can bridge the gap, ensuring participants receive timely and regular support without long wait times.
  • Increasing session frequency: AHAs can supplement your Allied health sessions, following the same therapy goals, so you work on your plan more regularly.
  • Reduced cost of therapy sessions: using a AHA can help to stretch your NDIS funding further while still being overseen by your current therapist.

How do I know if I am covered for an AHA in my NDIS funding?

To check if your NDIS funding covers Allied Health Assistant services, look under "Improved Daily Living" or "Capacity Building Supports." These sections often include funding for allied health services, which may cover AHAs.
