At Just Therapy we strongly believe in choice and control for our participants. Therefore they gain access to look at all of our Therapy Assistant and Mentors profiles and choose who they would like to support them. All of our participants are required to register to protect employee confidentiality.
Please note that due to this process, we cannot guarantee a start date. If you are selected to support a participant, one of our team members will get in touch with you to discuss the next step.
The participants choose a location in which they would like the session to be held. Again, this promotes choice and control which is important to the success, capacity building and independence of the participants. The participants may want to have sessions at home, school, community centres or the supervising therapists’ rooms.
Therapy Assistant sessions are minimum 1 hour and Mentoring sessions are minimum of 2 hours, however, the participant may require more, and this is negotiable between yourself and the participant.
This will depend on the therapist. Each therapist will have a different model and you will need to be flexible to accommodate the participant under the guidance of the therapist. Our technology has the capability for ongoing reporting which will support the participant in the review process and can keep the supervising therapist up to date with progress.
We have a fortnightly pay cycle.
Yes. Therapy Assistants can be paid a maximum of 30 minutes travel time to appointments and 30 minutes from appointments in metropolitan areas. You can also be paid for up to 1 hour travel time to inner regional areas.

Not being vaccinated may reduce the likelihood of connecting with clients, as people with disabilities can be at higher risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19.
