Supporting NDIS & Aged Care Clients to Achieve Their Goals

At Healthonus Australia, our Therapy Assistants provide structured, hands-on support to help clients achieve their therapy goals consistently and affordably. Working under the supervision of qualified allied health professionals, Therapy Assistants assist both NDIS participants and Aged Care clients to maintain independence, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. They ensure progress continues between therapist reviews — giving you more consistent care and better outcomes.

What is a Therapy Assistant?

A Therapy Assistant is a trained support professional who works under the guidance of a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist, or Exercise Physiologist.

They do not replace your primary therapist — instead, they:

Implement prescribed therapy programs
Support exercise and rehabilitation routines
Assist with skill development and daily practice
Encourage independence and confidence
Provide structured community-based support

This model allows clients to receive more frequent support at a cost-effective rate.

Who Can Benefit?

Therapy Assistant services are ideal for:

NDIS participants
Children requiring consistent practice between therapy sessions
Adults recovering from injury or surgery
Individuals with neurological or developmental conditions
Clients working on independence and functional goals
