Uninterrupted support for unmatched progress and improved outcomes for NDIS Participants


We  understand the critical impact that disruptions or prolonged wait times can have on NDIS Participants' quality of life and their journey towards independence. We recognise that timely and uninterrupted access to services is essential for maintaining progress and avoiding setbacks. That's why we're deeply committed to enhancing service continuity, ensuring that every Participant can stay on their developmental trajectory.


Bridging the gap: our commitment to you


Our robust capacity for managing both new and ongoing referrals positions us uniquely to mitigate waitlist challenges. In times when another provider faces delays, helpz is ready to step in. We offer immediate engagement and support to bridge any service gaps, ensuring that no Participant is left without the care they need.


Our comprehensive approach spans all disciplines in Allied Health and Behaviour Support. We prioritise initiating supports promptly, regardless of waitlists or discipline, focusing always on you, the Participant. For those facing NDIS funding gaps or requiring urgent assistance, our team is adept at providing interim support, ensuring your continuity of care remains uninterrupted.


Navigating seasonal challenges together


School holidays and the winter months can bring their own set of challenges for NDIS service continuity. Planned and unplanned leave can disrupt the regular support rhythm. We specialise in bridging that continuity gap, ensuring that every NDIS Participant receives the support they need, when they need it. We will even work with your existing care providers to provide support during care interruptions and can fast track NDIS Participants through wait list delays with our capacity for new NDIS referrals.


Adapting to your needs: flexibility in service delivery


At helpz, we understand that there may be times when an NDIS Participant is unable to attend sessions due to illness or other circumstances. Our commitment to continuous care means adapting our approach to ensure that your support, planning, and goal strategies can continue, uninterrupted, even when face-to-face sessions aren't feasible.


Carer-to-clinician sessions

During periods when a Participant is unwell, we offer the option for carers to meet with clinicians on their behalf. This approach allows us to:

  • Maintain momentum towards the NDIS Participant's goals and strategies.
  • Adjust care plans in real-time, ensuring they remain aligned with the NDIS Participant's current needs and circumstances.
  • Provide carers with guidance, resources, and support, empowering them to effectively assist the participant during their recovery.


Leveraging technology for uninterrupted support

Recognising the challenges of in-person support during times of illness or when mobility is restricted, helpz incorporates technology services as a core component of our care model. We can provide NDIS participants with:

  • Virtual consultations: Engage in tele health sessions with our allied health professionals and behaviour therapists, ensuring continuity of care from the comfort of your home.
  • Flexible scheduling: Arrange sessions at times that work best for you, accommodating changes in routine or care needs.
  • Accessible resources: Gain access to digital resources and tools recommended by your allied health clinician and NDIS provider, supporting your progress and learning outside of sessions.


Ensuring seamless care for NDIS Participants


Whether transitioning temporarily to carer-to-clinician sessions or utilising telehealth options, our goal remains the same: to ensure you continue to receive high-quality, uninterrupted care tailored to your needs. Our team is committed to flexibility and innovation in our service delivery, ensuring that every participant can continue their journey towards independence and well-being, regardless of the challenges that may arise.

As the new school year approached, Jade felt a familiar mix of excitement and anxiety. Her son, Liam, who is neurodivergent, had always found transitions challenging. Determined to make this year different, Jade decided to take proactive steps to ensure Liam’s success. Jade began by reaching out to Liam’s school to discuss their approach to inclusion. She learned about Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which uses flexible teaching methods to cater to different learning styles. This reassured her that Liam’s unique needs would be considered. She also arranged a meeting with the classroom teacher to review Liam’s Individualised Education Plan (IEP). To ensure the IEP was up-to-date and reflective of Liam’s strengths, challenges, and progress, Jade invited Liam’s therapist to attend the meeting. This was an opportunity to ensure the UDL principles were being applied effectively. Next, Jade spoke to Liam’s Occupational Therapist (OT), and together they decided that Liam would benefit from some environmental changes in the classroom. The OT and Jade developed a list of resources Liam would need during moments of dysregulation. Jade inquired about sensory-friendly spaces and brain breaks, and was pleased to find out that the school had quiet areas where Liam could take breaks, including during playtime when the playgrounds were noisy and crowded. Concerned about Liam’s social skills and his challenges around making and keeping friends, Jade prepared some ideas and strategies with Liam’s therapy team to support him in developing connections this year. These included a buddy program, lunch clubs around specific interests, social skills programs both in and outside of school, and flexible seating in the classroom so Liam could sit with peers he felt comfortable with. Jade also established regular check-ins with Liam’s teachers to stay updated on his progress. She made sure to be actively involved in planning and decision-making processes, ensuring that Liam’s needs were always at the forefront. By taking these proactive steps and involving a therapist in the IEP meeting, Jade felt more confident that Liam would have a successful and supportive school year. Ready to Take the Next Step? Every child deserves an education tailored to their unique needs. Just like Jade, you can advocate for your child’s success by being well-prepared for their IEP meeting .
