AGED CARE · SUPPORT AT HOME
Allied Health
Personalised, multidisciplinary support for your health and independence at home.
About this support
Physiotherapy and exercise
Physiotherapy can address mobility, functional strength, balance, confidence and pain management. Exercise physiology can support an individual rehabilitation or exercise plan. Ask the team which qualified professional is appropriate for your needs.
Occupational therapy
Physical and cognitive assessments identify needs and ways to support independence. Recommendations can include assistive equipment and home modifications for safety and comfort.
Speech therapy and podiatry
Speech therapists support communication and swallowing difficulties through treatment planning and ongoing care. Podiatrists assess and treat foot, nail, ankle and lower-leg concerns, including chronic and circulatory conditions.
Counselling support
The source describes support with mental health concerns and counselling related to palliative care, dementia, grief and financial difficulties. Speak to the team about the relevant service and referral pathway.
Care that understands you
Care Partners listen to you and your family to develop a person-centred plan. Services can be reviewed as needs change, within available funding and programme rules. Our team supports cultural needs; many staff speak Russian, Hebrew, Polish or Hungarian as well as English.
Funding and costs
Support may be arranged through an approved Support at Home package or privately, depending on the service and your circumstances. Ask the team about your options and the current price guide. Assessment, contributions and service availability must be confirmed for your situation.
