Support types: therapy support

7th October 2020

Therapy sessions can take preparation, time and can be a big part of your life. Whether it’s during or after your sessions, therapy support can help you plan, practice and enjoy your therapy. Therapy support can assist with therapies such as:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Speech pathology
  • Physiotherapy
  • Exercise physiology 

For NDIS participants, therapy support may fall under the core support category. 

How is the Hireup community using help around the house? 

Janelle is a Hireup user who shares a love of cats and good conversation with her support worker Katie. After years of asking her partner to assist with her therapy, Janelle now receives therapy support on Hireup. From understanding therapy exercises to practicing down at the pool, her support worker Katie assists with any therapy support requirements.

Katie and Janelle are in the pool together. Katie is assisting Janelle with her exercises.

"So now I can have workers help me with that, it means that with our [my partner and I] spare time we can go out. The focus is on the fun stuff, the good stuff."
