What Allied Health Professionals say
“Overall, I’ve had a positive experience. I’ve noticed that Allied Health Assistants are open to suggestions and like getting feedback. They tend to be more skilled than support workers and this can be hugely beneficial for families.”
“Therapy Assistants and Allied Health Assistants are essential and invaluable members of your client’s care team. They can provide clients with greater frequency and greater visit flexibility (e.g. after hours and weekend service which most Allied Health Professionals are unable to offer).”
