We have found over time that each new client we support is looking for assistance specific to their needs and goals. This is why we introduced mentoring services. Often clients do not have a therapeutic plan written. Therapy assistants must work under the guidance of a qualified therapist. If there is no supervising therapist, we offer mentors. 

Depending on the assistance you require, we generally can connect you with an assistant within a week of your enquiry. With this in mind, there are certain factors such as location and worker availability that may extend this waiting period. 

Yes. You can have multiple Therapy Assistants or Mentors as you need them. Also, some Therapy Assistants can support you with more than one therapy i.e. an Occupational Therapy Assistant may also be able to support you with Speech Therapy and vice versa.

Therapy Assistants will support you when it suits you and it is mutually agreed upon between you and the Assistants.

A Therapy Assistant is $82 per hour weekdays and $86.50 on weekends. Therapy Assistants can charge for up to half an hour travel to a session, and half an hour from their session in the metropolitan area. However, for inner regional travel they can charge for up to 1 hour of travel. 

A Mentor is $65 per hour weekdays and they may charge up to half an hour travel to a session. 

If you do not have a therapist, still contact us and we can offer mentoring to support you in finding and engaging with a therapist.  

Our Therapy Assistants and Mentors are mobile and flexible. They are happy to meet you at your preferred location.
