Allied Health in the Home: What to Expect From Your Team
Allied health professionals play a vital role in keeping people healthy, mobile, and independent in their own homes. Whether you’re receiving services through an NDIS plan or a Home Care Package, EnableU brings together the right team to support your wellbeing right where you live.
What Is Allied Health?
Allied health includes qualified professionals who are not doctors or nurses, but who work closely with you to manage daily functioning, mobility, safety, and independence. This includes:
- Physiotherapists (Physios) – help with strength, balance, falls prevention, and pain management
- Occupational Therapists (OTs) – support daily tasks, recommend equipment, and assess home safety
- Speech pathologists – support communication and swallowing issues (if needed)
- Dietitians – help with nutrition and chronic disease management
How Do Home Visits Work?
EnableU’s allied health visits are personalised, respectful, and goal-oriented. Here's how a typical engagement works:
- Initial assessment to understand your goals, living environment, and support needs
- Care plan creation with clear strategies and timelines
- Follow-up sessions to monitor progress and adjust strategies
- Reports for NDIS or aged care reviews
