Allied Health Assistant (AHA)

Our Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) are a vital part of our team — bringing warmth, energy, and practical support to every session. Currently studying in the final years of their Occupational Therapy degrees, our AHAs are passionate about helping clients reach their goals in meaningful, everyday ways.

They work closely alongside our qualified Occupational Therapists, both in the clinic and out in the community, delivering therapy plans that are carefully designed and supervised by our experienced OT team. This collaborative approach means families and clients can access consistent, high-quality support that is flexible and cost-effective — helping stretch funding further while still maintaining the same gold standard of care.

Whether it’s building skills in play, daily routines, emotional regulation, or supporting therapy at home and school, our AHAs are dedicated, kind, and ready to cheer you on every step of the way.

  • Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) are an amazing way to get more support, more practice, + more progress in a flexible and cost-effective way.

    Here’s why so many families love having an AHA on their team:


    1. More therapy time between sessions with their qualified therapists helping develop skills faster.

    2.Cost-Effective as the hourly rate is more affordable compared to seeing a qualified therapist, helping to support engagement for all economic ranges.

    3.Individualised and supervised support tailored to the individual to achieve their meaningful goals. Confidence knowing it comes from an informed and supervised place.

    4.Flexible therapy that can be offered in the home prior to school or work, or in-clinic or in the community, supporting real-life practice where it matters most.
