Allied Health Assistants
Paediatric Allied Health
Our Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) play a crucial role in helping our young patients thrive by aiding in therapy sessions, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment, and enhancing the overall quality of care. Their dedication and skills make a significant impact on children's well-being.
AHAs support our therapists to help our clients achieve their goals!
An Allied Health Assistant (AHA) works under the delegation and indirect supervision of our therapists to provide support and assist the delivery of therapy to our clients.
Our AHA’s take on detailed plans from the therapists to carry out sessions in all disciplines, as well as prep resources, support in administration tasks and assist the therapists in sessions where possible.
Prior to seeing clients one-on-one, our AHA’s have observed many sessions with the therapists and been equipped with the skills to expand on session plans and build rapport with clients, embodying Lifespan’s values.
Our AHA’s work with NDIS funded clients after receiving a treatment plan created by a trained therapist. Session plans are reviewed on a regular basis, usually every 6-8 weeks, or as questions arise. Additionally, regular re-assessments with direct contact time with the trained therapist occur.
Rest assured that session plans are reviewed by our therapists for session plan changes, goal changes, and other changes in circumstance.
