Therapy Care operates under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), working closely with participants to provide in-home, community, and therapeutic support services designed to help them achieve their goals. With a mission to build lasting relationships and simplify the NDIS process, Therapy Care offers a comprehensive range of support services that make a significant difference in participants’ lives.
Our Array of Services
At Therapy Care, we provide a wide variety of NDIS support services, including plan management, daily living support services, specialised assessments, NDIS day programs, and short-term accommodation. Additionally, we offer a range of therapeutic support services such as Exercise Physiology, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Recreational Therapy, and Hydrotherapy.
The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Approach
One of our allied health team’s greatest strengths is their ability to maintain a multidisciplinary approach. This sets it apart as a provider of capacity-building services. “Having multiple therapists in one setting allows us to case conference together and develop the best goal-oriented solutions for our clients,” says Therapy Care’s physiotherapist, Jamie. This collaborative approach leverages years of clinical knowledge, experience, and evidence-based practice while also supporting new graduate therapists entering the NDIS space.
The multidisciplinary team at Therapy Care enables seamless cross-referrals and transitions between therapy disciplines as needed. For instance, if a physiotherapy client mentions difficulties with swallowing and eating, they can be referred to a speech therapist and dietician for comprehensive management. This holistic approach ensures that participants receive the most effective support across all areas of their health.
Benefits of Integrated Health Specialist Collaboration
When health specialists work and communicate together, participants experience better outcomes and improved opportunities to meet their goals, leading to an enhanced overall quality of life. This collaborative approach ensures consistent and coordinated care, maximising the effectiveness of each therapy session. “The participant has better outcomes and better opportunities to meet their goals,” Jamie emphasises. “This then equates to a better overall quality of life.”
Challenges of Disjointed Care
When health specialists do not work together, it disadvantages both NDIS participants and therapists. Case conferencing and cross-referring become challenging, leading to time delays and increased administrative burdens. Progress for participants is often slowed, and essential support can be missed. Therapy Care’s comprehensive service offerings, including daily living support, allow therapists to communicate effectively with disability support workers. This communication ensures that participants receive consistent support in implementing therapeutic activities at home, leading to better overall outcomes.
Therapy Care’s holistic approach to allied health support is designed to meet the diverse needs of NDIS participants. If you or someone you know is an NDIS participant in need of therapeutic support, don’t hesitate to enquire about Therapy Care’s allied health services.
