Allied Health Care

Our Allied Health Care professionals include occupational therapist, exercise physiologist, social workers, psychologists and Allied Health Assistants. They work as a team to take a closer look at what you need.

The Allied Health Team provides client-oriented care that brings all allied health together working towards the same goal. Our effective allied health plans are clinically proven with multiple benefits to every participant, bringing together multi-disciplinary ideas on the client needs. Our Allied Health staff are experienced in developing positive behaviour plans.

Behaviour Support

Have you ever felt like people are judging you for how you behave? Do your thoughts get in the way of being able to control your behaviour when needed? Many people with psychosocial disabilities struggle to regulate their behaviour due to an illness or disability. It may be difficult for you to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and you may not have the support needed from family and friends. Our skilled and experienced Allied Health staff will assist you with positive behaviour support plans. This means you will have a more regulated experience and can continue enjoying all that life has to offer minus the stigma and the discrimination that may be attached.

Mental Health

It is important to highlight that mental health is not a fixed state of mind. As individuals, our environment and experiences are constantly changing, challenging our ability to cope. Similar to our physical health, there are times where it is at optimal levels and, at times where we become unwell, injured, and need to change certain aspects of our lives to improve our physical and mental health.

At times people often struggle to find professional help which is accessible. There are many types of factors that may affect your mental health like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These all have varying forms of treatment based on your individualised needs from cognitive behavioural therapy, medication and talk therapies like CBT and DBT to treat effectively. We offer support with highly experienced professionals, which allows you to be comfortable in an environment designed for your needs. Amplified also provides emergency mental health services for crisis situations and daytime phone support for when you need someone to talk to when you can't or don't want to be on your own.

When we experience mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and others – it may impact our ability to function. That’s when Amplified Community Care comes in with its vast expertise in aged care dementia, complex drug and alcohol and mental health practice.

Medication Assistance

If you are on more than one medication, it can be difficult to remember when and how much of each pill you should take. Of course, there is a definite danger in not taking your medications as prescribed since they could be playing an integral role in your staying healthy. Our nursing and trained support staff will assist in making sure you’re able to take each round of pills and just how many with no hassle for you at all. It makes it easy to stay on top of things and maintain health from the inside out

Development Life Skills

It can be hard and frustrating to develop life skills. You may be feeling overwhelmed with the idea of living a life without limitations and barriers. Believe it or not, there are skills you can learn that will empower you to live your life with more fulfilment. And it does get easier as time goes on. These skills can be learned in many different ways, such as through classes and workshops where we teach you how to cook and clean for yourself, do your own laundry, make friends, create an itinerary for your day and even find work when you are ready. What's really important is finding what works for each individual! It's about learning how to develop new habits in order to create a better lifestyle. We all need help sometimes and Amplified Community Care is here to provide it!
