Allied Health Assistant
Allied Health Assistants are trained support professionals who work alongside licensed allied health clinicians to implement and support therapy plans, you can read about what a therapy plan is here.
At Quad Care, AHAs provide physical, social, and emotional support, ensuring each client receives the assistance needed to build skills, maintain progress, and live more independently. AHAs’ roles cover a range of activities, from supporting therapeutic exercises prescribed by exercise physiologists to helping clients improve their communication abilities alongside speech therapists.
Allied Health Assistants can assist Quad Care‘s Occupational Therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Speech Therapists with delivering tailored therapy plans in Woodford.
AHAs at Quad Care deliver personalised support tailored to each client’s unique needs. They work closely with Allied Health clients and clincians to follow exercises plans, implement routines, and provide support in daily tasks. Each AHA follows a plan developed by allied health clinicians, ensuring the support aligns with clinical goals set by NDIS plans.
AHAs play an active role in facilitating the care plans created by our occupational therapists. They assist clients with tasks designed to improve fine motor skills, coordination, and independent living activities. By working with occupational therapists, AHAs enable clients to make steady progress in daily activities like dressing, feeding, and personal hygiene, supporting a more independent lifestyle.
Under the supervision of Quad Care’s speech therapists, AHAs assist clients in practicing speech exercises and communication techniques. For clients working to improve language, articulation, or social communication, AHAs are valuable resources, providing consistency and reinforcement outside the core speech therapy sessions.
AHAs collaborate with exercise physiologists to help clients build physical strength, endurance, and mobility. They assist with structured exercises and encourage clients in fitness activities, creating a supportive environment for physical rehabilitation and well-being. This collaboration benefits clients in recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or building general physical capacity to improve quality of life.
AHAs at Quad Care also handle essential administrative tasks that enhance clinical efficiency. They prepare therapy spaces, organise materials, track progress, and document changes in client needs all the while reporting back and working with the Allied Health clinician. This support allows allied health clinicians to focus more on direct care, optimising each session’s effectiveness, client NDIS funding and enhancing communication across the team.
The addition of an AHA to the care team offers more hands-on, individualised support. By incorporating AHAs into each client’s care, Quad Care provides an enriched, holistic service that aligns with NDIS goals.
AHAs ensure that clients actively participate in their routines, making the most of each session. With regular guidance, clients feel more supported and motivated to engage fully in their therapy activities.
AHAs maintain consistent support between therapy sessions, reinforcing skills and routines set by occupational therapists, speech therapists, and exercise physiologists. This continuity leads to better long-term outcomes and helps clients achieve goals more efficiently.
