Melbourne Allied Health Services
What is a therapy assistant?
Therapy Assistants, also known as allied health assistants, are there to support participants and health practitioners such as physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and occupational therapists.
Their role is to provide therapeutic support. This often involves implementing exercise programs under the guidance of a health practitioner. However, therapy assistants are not replacements of your usual health practitioner. They are limited in the ability to make clinical assessments and recommend new treatments.
Exercise methods used by allied health assistants may include active stretching, balance and proprioception, strengthening, muscle energy techniques, hydrotherapy and movement-based conditioning.

Why have a mobile therapy assistant in your team?
Therapy assistants are a cost-effective way of continuing to provide treatment for participants as they are billed at a much lower rate. A therapy assistant may be billed at 2-3 times lower than a health practitioner.
By having a therapy assistant, you will be able to double or triple your therapy input, without going over your budget.

Hub & Spoke Health
Therapy Assistance with Hub & Spoke Health
Allen is a 25 year old male with cerebral palsy and is currently receiving home-based physiotherapy from Hub & Spoke Health (formerly Home Physio Melbourne). He is currently being seen once a fortnight by physiotherapy as allowed by his budget. However, he finds difficulty with motivating himself to complete his exercises between each session.
Josh, our therapy assistant, now visits Allen in between each physiotherapy session. Now Allen is receiving twice the amount of therapy input without increasing his budget. Most importantly, Allen is now able to achieve his goals of being stronger and more mobile sooner.
NDIS & Support at Home
Navigating funding systems like the NDIS or Support at Home can be overwhelming — but we’re here to help.
Hub & Spoke Health is a registered provider under both programs. We understand the reporting, compliance, and communication these schemes require — and we’ve supported hundreds of participants and older adults to get the care they need at home.
We work closely with support coordinators, plan managers, care advisors and families to ensure services are goal-aligned, compliant, and tailored to each person’s needs.
Whether it’s physiotherapy, art therapy, dietetics or beyond — we help make the process simple.

Our Hub & Spoke Allied Health Assistants
Our mobile Allied Health services
Mobile healthcare allows you to receive tailored allied health support at home, rather than travelling to a provider. Across Australia, you can schedule a visit and receive care in the environment that matters most, your everyday space. When you book a mobile appointment with Hub & Spoke, our practitioner delivers personalised care designed around your needs, your goals, and your home set-up.
Our Hub & Spoke practitioners will bring their equipment with them so you get the full benefit of a clinic visit without leaving your home. The biggest benefit of assessing you at home is we get to understand your home environment. As a result, we can make instant changes to anything that could be contributing to your aches and pains, or restrictions in movement.
Our initial consultations run for 1-hour and follow-up appointments for 30-45 minutes, potentially reducing the number of visits you’ll need and providing value for money.
We’ll bring our experience and equipment to your home to provide the best evidence-based physiotherapy to support you in moving and living better.
We deeply understand fitness, exercise prescription, dosage, anatomy, physiology and most importantly, we prevent you from re-injuring yourself.
Art Therapy uses the creative process of art to enhance the emotional and physical well-being of children and adults. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home, and we bring all art supplies with us.
Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home. Our music therapists bring an array of instruments with them to cater to any therapeutic musical preferences.
Our skilled therapists can help you regain independence and reach your goals. Whether you’re suffering from a physical injury or mental health condition, we’re here to help.
There are times in life when you need a little more—someone who has additional training and experience to support you (or your patient), or they need post-hospital care. Whether that’s cancer care, paediatric physio, transition care program, hospital in the home or aged care physio.
