Supporting Independence Through Allied Health Care

At Mind & Body Support, we provide personalised therapy and allied health support to help participants feel confident, supported, and engaged throughout their appointments and ongoing care across Melbourne. We understand that attending therapy sessions, health appointments, and allied health services can feel overwhelming at times, which is why our team offers practical, supportive one-on-one assistance tailored to each participant’s needs.

Our goal is to help participants access the care and support they need while encouraging independence, communication, routine, and confidence throughout the process.

Our services are available to NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, as well as private and self-funded clients. No matter how your support is funded, we work with you to create flexible, person-centred support that fits your goals, your routine, and your budget.

Speech Therapy Support

We support participants attending speech therapy appointments by providing encouragement, transport assistance, communication support, and practical help before, during, and after sessions where appropriate.

Physiotherapy Appointment Support

Physiotherapy can play an important role in improving movement, mobility, strength, coordination, and overall wellbeing. We can accompany participants to physiotherapy appointments while providing practical support and encouragement throughout the process.

Our team can assist participants with:

  • Transport to and from appointments
  • Assistance in navigating clinics and community settings
  • Encouragement during exercises or rehabilitation programs
  • Supporting therapy routines and consistency
  • Building confidence in attending appointments independently over time

Psychology Appointment Assistance

Mental health and emotional well-being are important aspects of overall quality of life. We support participants attending psychology appointments by helping create a safe, supportive, and comfortable experience.

For some individuals, attending appointments can feel stressful or unfamiliar. Our team can assist by providing reassurance, transport support, and assistance with routines surrounding appointments while encouraging participants to feel more confident engaging with their support network.

SUPPORT BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS

How Can a Support Worker Help Around Therapy Goals?

Allied health professionals may recommend strategies, routines or activities for a participant to practise outside appointments. Where appropriate and within the scope of the participant's support, Mind & Body Support can help participants follow agreed strategies and incorporate them into everyday routines.

01

Practising Agreed Strategies

Supporting participants to practise strategies recommended by their treating professional.

02

Building Routines

Helping make agreed activities or strategies part of a consistent everyday routine.

03

Supporting Participation

Encouraging participation in relevant activities in the home or community.

04

Working Collaboratively

Supporting continuity around participant goals alongside families and relevant professionals.

Important: Mind & Body Support does not replace an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist, speech pathologist or other qualified allied health professional. Our role is supportive rather than diagnostic or therapeutic.

Supporting People with a Wide Range of Disabilities & Conditions

At Mind & Body Support, we believe every person deserves support that is tailored to their individual strengths, goals and needs. Our experienced team works with children, teenagers and adults living with a wide range of physical, intellectual, neurological and psychosocial disabilities, adapting our support to help every participant feel confident, capable and included.


We proudly support participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Intellectual Disability, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Global Developmental Delay, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease, Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke Recovery, Epilepsy, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Schizophrenia, and many other disabilities and health conditions. Whatever your goals, we’ll work alongside you to provide personalised, compassionate support that promotes independence, wellbeing, community participation and an improved quality of life.

Supporting Therapy Goals & Everyday Progress

At Mind & Body Support, we understand that therapy goals often extend beyond the appointment itself. We work collaboratively with participants, families, and support teams to help reinforce positive routines, confidence, communication, movement, independence, and overall well-being within everyday life.

Our support focuses on helping participants:

  • Build confidence attending appointments
  • Improve consistency with therapy routines
  • Increase independence within the community
  • Feel supported during health-related activities
  • Develop positive daily routines and wellbeing habits
