• Our approach

  Ability Action Australia supports NDIS participants through evidence-based, tailored interventions delivered by experienced clinicians. The provider offers a multidisciplinary approach where different health professionals collaborate to address multiple needs, with an emphasis on understanding each person's goals and delivering the outcomes they desire. Sessions include both face-to-face time with clinicians and non-face-to-face time spent on preparation, documentation and sharing updates with support networks. Clinicians work flexibly—either meeting participants in their homes and communities or in clinic locations—and can also provide support via telehealth. The approach centres on the positive abilities of every person, focusing on action to get the support people need when they need it.

• Working with families

  The provider emphasises communication and collaboration with parents and carers as part of its support network. Non-face-to-face time in sessions is specifically allocated for sharing updates with your support people and coordinating care. The Key Worker model (used for Early Childhood Support) is highlighted in testimonials as providing families with a single point of contact who identifies areas of concern, helps navigate the complex web of services, and empowers parents through knowledge and support. Clinicians work to build strong relationships with families and keep them informed throughout the therapy journey, with the dedicated Concierge team available to answer questions and support families at every stage.
