Checklists

Allied health includes supports you can get to:
- make and keep you healthy
- build the skills you need to do more things for yourself
- reach your goals
- make changes to your home so you can keep living there
- receive assistive technology.

Assistive technology can:
- make it easier to do things
- keep you safe.

Assistive technology might be:
- an aid or piece of equipment
- a system to use.

We call people who provide these supports and services allied health workers.

You can find allied health workers in places like:
- hospitals
- schools
- community health centres.

Allied health does not include care from doctors, nurses or dentists.

We have created 3 checklists.

You can use them to help you work out:

- what funding you have in your NDIS plan

- what questions to ask when you make an appointment with an allied health worker

- if your allied health workers meet your needs.

Capacity Building funding can help you:
- build the skills you need to do more things for yourself
- reach your goals.

Capital funding will help you get:

- changes you need to your home so you can keep living there

- changes to your vehicle so you can keep using it

- specialist disability accommodation – accessible housing for people with disability

When something is accessible, everyone can use it.

- assistive technology.

We also include information about:

- choosing allied health workers

- making a Service Agreement with an allied health worker.

A Service Agreement is a written plan between you and your allied health worker.
It explains:
- the supports you will use
- how your allied health worker will give you those supports
- how much the supports will cost.

You can choose a checklist below to find out more.
