New Growth’s partnership with Allied health professionals makes sure you’re receiving the care services you deserve. Allied health professionals are critical contributors to the NDIS, offering a range of therapeutic and support services.
Our Allied Health partners work collaboratively with NDIS participants, their families, and other caregivers to deliver holistic care that encompasses physical, psychological, and developmental well-being.
Allied health professionals provide a variety of services under the NDIS, including:
Helping you develop, maintain, and gain meaningful activities or occupations
Prescribing exercises and treatments to improve your mobility and physical function.
Assisting with communication challenges.
Supporting mental health and promoting emotional well-being.
Guidance on how to manage your diet and nutrition.
Exercise, lifestyle, and behavioural solutions for general health and injury or chronic condition management.
Help with improving social and personal wellbeing for you and your family.
Each discipline within the Allied health sector works towards achieving the overall goals set out in your NDIS plan.
As your support coordinators, New Growth can help you access professional services like these through our partnership with Allied Health providers. The support is out there, and funding is available to you through the NDIS – but the process of actually finding, and booking in, the right professionals who can help can be complicated and overwhelming.
We’ll help you get access to the professionals you need, even if they’re in demand, and you’re on a long waiting list. The NDIS system can be frustrating and difficult to navigate – sometimes you’ll find you’re matched with a provider, and then they become unavailable before you can book their services. If this happens, we’ll find someone else who can give you the care you need.
If you’re looking for an Allied health professional and having a difficult time getting in touch with one who can help, reach out to us. We’ll connect you with the help you need.
NDIS-funded respite provides essential breaks for families and carers through Short Term Accommodation (STA), but eligibility depends on your plan, accommodation choices require careful consideration, and understanding the rules helps avoid funding issues.
NDIS participants can access various employment funding options including standard employment supports, Disability Employment Services, and specialist coordination, though finding effective providers and accommodating employers often requires careful research and advocacy.
The NDIS can fund vehicle modifications that are necessary for driving or travelling safely due to your disability, but won't pay for the vehicle itself. You'll need an occupational therapist assessment and must meet specific criteria around vehicle age and modification necessity.
The NDIS funds a wide range of assistive technology items including mobility aids, communication devices, home modifications, and daily living equipment, with approval based on individual assessments by allied health professionals rather than a standard list.
NDIS plans contain both flexible funding categories that allow cross-category spending and stated supports with specific restrictions, but unclear NDIA guidance creates confusion for participants and support coordinators about what's actually allowed.
NDIS consumables are everyday items that help manage your disability needs, from continence products to cooling bedding, but claiming them requires proper documentation and understanding of stricter approval criteria since late 2023.
The NDIS can fund home modifications to improve safety and independence, ranging from minor changes under $10,000 to complex structural alterations, with approval depending on proper assessment documentation and following specific NDIA processes.
NDIS transport funding can be optimised through choosing between direct payments or in-plan reimbursement, understanding provider travel charges, and advocating for appropriate funding levels based on your transport needs.
These services aim to improve participants’ functional abilities, independence, and overall quality of life. They may focus on skill development, rehabilitation, managing specific conditions, and providing assistive technology.
Yes, many Allied Health professionals can assess the need for and prescribe assistive technology and equipment to support participants in their daily lives.
The number of sessions is based on what is considered reasonable and necessary for your needs, as outlined in your NDIS plan.
Many Allied Health services can be provided in various settings, including at home, depending on the type of service and the participant’s needs.
