We offer highly-trained and dedicated therapy assistants that can help with many daily tasks. They can complement the role and services delivered by allied health professionals, by undertaking some of the duties that require less developed skills. In addition to the support you might already receive, the types of tasks that a therapy assistant can do may include some activities that require a higher level of knowledge and skill than is provided by a support worker. Give us a call to discuss your needs and to see if a therapy assistant would be suitable.
Acute care and rehabilitation, community care, and residential care
