Different support options. The same freedom to choose.

Both options begin with a local, verified worker. The difference is the goal and whether a treating professional is involved.

Got questions?

What is the difference between AHA Support and Support Work?

An Allied Health Assistant helps practise suitable activities set by a treating allied health professional. A Support Worker helps with everyday routines, appointments and community participation. Support Work does not require a treating professional.

What if I do not have an allied health professional?

You can still begin with Fora. Support Work does not require a treating professional. If an Allied Health Assistant is suitable and you do not already have an AHP, Fora can help you explore a connection pathway. Availability varies, so the first step is a short form or an email to our team.

How does Fora verify workers?

Every Fora AHA and Support Worker completes identity verification, a phone interview, professional reference checks, a National Police Check and NDIS Worker Screening. A Working with Children Check is required for child-related work. AHAs must also meet Fora’s qualification requirements.

Which funding arrangements can Fora support?

Fora supports NDIS, TAC and private payment arrangements. Fora also works with Support at Home and aged care providers through partnership arrangements.

Do I have to accept an applicant?

No. You can review suitable applicants, ask questions and arrange a complimentary Meet & Greet before deciding whether you would like to continue.

How can an organisation work with Fora?

Fora can align workforce evidence, role scope, provider-specific onboarding, service records, escalation processes and reporting requirements, then begin with a controlled pilot before expanding.
