Allied Health Assistants

At House on the Hill Paediatric Therapy Services in Canberra, we have an amazing team of Allied Health Assistants focussed on supporting and delivering a range of paediatric services that help children achieve their goals.

Read more below…

Our Allied Health Assistant (AHA) team in Canberra can provide supports across a number of disciplines including Occupational Therapy, Equine Assisted Therapy and Group Programs.  The supports offered by AHA’s vary greatly, from provided hands on support to the therapists, creating visuals / resources for clients, to delivering individualised client AHA programs.

For AHA programs, the therapist for the relevant discipline provides an assessment for your child, then where appropriate, they create a program which an AHA delivers.  The AHA programs target specific goals for your child, for example fine and gross motor skills.  With sessions provided in clinic, schools or at home, the therapists oversee the ongoing program delivery and collaborate closely with the AHA’s.

Before you enquire about our Allied Health Assistant Services, please note that in order to access these supports a therapist will need to complete an OT assessment followed by creating an AHA program (both chargeable activities).  There may also be a therapist charge for additional work such as school observations to update an AHA program.
