Why Families in Australia Choose Therapy Assistants Through Carevo

Choosing a therapy provider is a decision built on trust. Here’s how providers earn it.

A Team You Can Trust

Therapy assistants commonly hold a Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance and work under supervision. Ask each provider about their assistants’ qualifications, insurance, training, and supervision arrangements.

Better Value from Your NDIS Plan

Using a Therapy Assistant for regular practice is more affordable than exclusively using a senior therapist. This allows you to get more support hours from your NDIS budget, leading to more consistent practice and better outcomes.

Seamless, Coordinated Care

Qualified therapy assistants work directly with your existing therapists or allied health professionals in the network. This team-based approach ensures everyone is aligned with your goals, providing consistent and coordinated support.

How Therapy Assistants Support Your Goals in Australia

• Delivering therapy programs under the supervision of an OT, physio or speech pathologist.
• Practising exercises and skills between clinical sessions, so progress keeps building.
• A more affordable way to stretch your NDIS therapy funding across more support hours.
• More frequent support at home, where new skills matter most.
• Building daily living and communication skills at a steady, comfortable pace.
• Helping with mobility and movement programs set by your therapist.
• Supporting children and adults across a range of goals and routines.
• Reporting progress back to the supervising therapist, so your plan stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a Support Worker and a Therapy Assistant? A Therapy Assistant has specific qualifications (like a Cert III or IV in Allied Health Assistance) and works under the supervision of a qualified therapist to deliver a specific, goal-oriented therapy plan. A support worker provides more general assistance with daily living tasks.

How do I know if the Therapy Assistant is qualified? Ask the provider directly about each assistant’s qualifications, training, and who supervises them. Therapy assistants should work under the supervision of a registered Allied Health Professional. Carevo connects you with providers who can share these details with you.

How is this funded in my NDIS plan? Therapy Assistant services are typically funded from your Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living budget. Providers through Carevo can help you understand your plan and how to best utilise your funds.
