Using Allied Health to Complement Disability Support Services

At EnableU, we understand that achieving goals under your NDIS plan often requires more than just personal care—it also involves expert clinical input from qualified allied health professionals. That’s why we offer integrated disability support that works hand-in-hand with allied health services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

What Is Allied Health in Disability Support?

Allied health refers to professionals who support physical, sensory, or functional wellbeing. In the context of disability, this includes:

• Occupational Therapists (OTs) who help with daily living skills and home modifications
• Physiotherapists who improve strength, mobility, and balance
• Speech Pathologists who support communication and swallowing difficulties

Why Integration Matters

When support workers and allied health professionals communicate and collaborate, you get better outcomes. At EnableU, we ensure your support worker understands your therapy goals—whether it's improving mobility, communication, or independence in everyday tasks.

Examples of Allied Health & Support Working Together

• A physiotherapist develops an exercise plan, and your support worker assists with it at home
• An OT recommends visual aids or sensory adjustments, and your support team helps implement them daily
• Speech therapy goals are reinforced during support worker interactions, promoting faster skill development

Seamless Coordination Across Teams

EnableU offers both allied health and in-home support services under one roof. This means there’s no communication gaps, and your team works cohesively with a shared focus: your progress. If you already work with external therapists, we’re also happy to collaborate and coordinate directly with them.

Funded Through Your NDIS Plan

Whether you're funded under Core Supports, Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living, or Improved Health & Wellbeing, our team can help you allocate and maximise your therapy budgets. We'll also help you schedule services in a way that fits your lifestyle and goals.
