Telehealth
NDIS Telehealth refers to remote healthcare services provided to NDIS participants through telecommunication technologies. It allows convenient access to healthcare professionals without the need for in-person appointments, benefiting individuals with disabilities.
NDIS Approved
Telehealth Services
Due to the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, people, especially those who are vulnerable or immune-compromised, are facing limitations in leaving their homes. As a result, providers are seeking safer alternatives to in-person services. Delivery of services through digital platforms such as teletherapy or telehealth has gained widespread acceptance as a means of receiving therapy.
Fortunately, many NDIS therapy sessions can be conducted as telehealth appointments without compromising the quality of treatment. The funding, line items, and billing processes remain unchanged from face-to-face appointments. Additionally, telehealth offers the added advantage of reducing costs, such as travel expenses, and enabling remote participants to access services more conveniently.
At Diversey Care, we offer telehealth appointments for a range of therapies, including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Psychology, and Exercise Physiology. By providing these services remotely, we enable people living in rural and remote areas to access specialist therapeutic support that might not be available in their immediate communities.
Telehealth appointments are also a suitable option for individuals who have difficulty accessing community services, as it allows them to receive allied health services from the comfort of their homes.
Furthermore, telehealth appointments offer various benefits, such as providing access to services for individuals who are in isolation or whose school or facility has closed. It also caters to people who are immunosuppressed or vulnerable and who may face challenges in accessing services in person. Moreover, telehealth reduces the need for travel, thereby lowering associated costs.
Finally, telehealth often results in reduced wait times for clients, making the service more efficient and convenient.
