What Kew participants typically look for

Participants and families in Kew use their Therapeutic Supports funding to work towards a wide range of personal goals, often focusing on building independence and enhancing daily life. The choice of provider will depend heavily on your specific objectives and the recommendations in your plan.

• Building daily living skills: Occupational therapists can help with practical tasks like cooking, personal care, and using public transport.
• Improving communication: Speech pathologists assist with speech, language, swallowing, and using alternative communication methods.
• Enhancing mobility and physical function: Physiotherapists develop programs for strength, movement, pain management, and using assistive technology.
• Supporting mental wellbeing: Psychologists and counsellors provide strategies for managing emotions, building resilience, and navigating social situations.

How to choose the right provider in Kew

• Tip: Check their registration and service mix. Ensure they are NDIS-registered for the specific supports you need and review if their other services (like Daily Living) align with your broader goals.
• Tip: Consider location and travel. While many providers offer telehealth, in-person sessions are often preferred for hands-on therapy. Proximity to Kew or your home can reduce travel time and stress.
• Tip: Ask about their experience with your goals. Don't hesitate to ask potential providers about their specific experience supporting participants with similar conditions or objectives.
• Tip: Understand their availability and waitlists. It's practical to enquire about current caseloads and how soon they could commence regular sessions with you.
• Tip: Look at nearby suburbs as a fallback. If you need a very specialised service, remember that neighbouring areas like Melbourne, Bundoora, and Preston have a high concentration of listings and may offer more options.
