Kema Care's NDIS therapy assistants and allied health assistants work alongside your therapist (or professional allied health). We help you practise, build routines, and turn your therapy plan into real progress between sessions.
You get the specialist input you need. You also get steady, day-to-day support from a team who knows you, your goals, your culture, and your language.
We come to you across Melbourne's northern suburbs.
Kema Care flexible therapy support model is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of families navigating different funding pathways across Melbourne's northern suburbs. We provide tailored assistance for three primary groups:
You may have a plan that includes therapy or therapeutic supports. You might already see an occupational therapist, physio, speech pathologist, or another professional. Or you may be looking for one.
We help you make those therapy hours go further by supporting you in between, so the work continues every week, not just on session days.
In November 2025, Home Care Packages changed to the new Support at Home programme. If your care plan includes allied health, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, podiatry, or dietetics, it now sits in the Clinical Care category. That means the government fully funds it. You do not pay a contribution towards clinical care, no matter your income or assets.
When your plan includes allied health, we can support you between therapy visits, so you keep moving towards your goals.
We offer a reliable, fully coordinated team approach that reduces administration and ensures consistent support. This means we make it easier to coordinate care. We follow the plan. We turn up. We communicate clearly.
An allied health assistant is a trained worker who helps you carry out a therapy plan. They work under the supervision of a qualified therapist, such as an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or speech pathologist. They do not diagnose or design the plan. Their job is to help you practise it.
The two terms are often used to mean the same thing. Some providers prefer "therapy assistant" because it is clearer for participants. Both describe a worker who supports therapy goals under a qualified therapist's plan.
Your qualified therapist supervises the work. They set the plan, review your progress, and adjust the plan as you go. Your therapy assistant carries out the day-to-day practice under that plan.
Yes. Allied health assistant support is funded under your NDIS plan, usually through Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, or Core Supports. The exact category depends on your plan and your goals. Your support coordinator or plan manager can help confirm.
Yes. Allied health is part of the Clinical Care category under Support at Home. The government fully funds it. You do not pay a co-contribution for clinical care, no matter your income or assets. Your aged care assessment must include allied health for it to be part of your plan.
We work with independent therapists across Melbourne rather than employing our own. We do this so you can choose a clinician who suits your needs, and so our allied health assistants can work alongside any therapist you already see.
Yes. If you already have a therapist you trust, we work alongside them under their plan. You do not need to change anything about your current therapy.
Wherever your plan calls for. At home, in the community, at school, in supported accommodation, or by telehealth. Your therapist decides what works best for your goals.
We can. Get in touch and we will talk you through the steps. The first step is usually a free assessment through My Aged Care, which decides what level of support you can access. We can support you through that process.
