What We Offer:

Compass offers a flexible and accessible service to accommodate the various needs of people with a disability. Our consultations can take place in the school, home, workplace, community facility or Compass HQ Clinic. A personalised management plan is developed for every participant that focuses on the goals that were stated in their NDIS plan.

In addition to therapeutic consultations, we can provide assessment, trial and prescription of assistive technologies e.g. walking frames, standing frames, customised splints, AFO’s, cough assist devises, footwear and orthotics.

We can assist with transitions to school (making sure staff and/or peers are ready to help your child achieve their potential at school).

We can help with inclusion in community activities e.g. sports, leisure and workplace.

Please see the step-by-step summary below for an understanding of our NDIS service process.

1. Online referral is submitted for the participant. (This can be done by the participant, family member, support co-ordinator or therapist)

2. Senior Compass therapist triages the referral

3. Participant is contacted by Compass admin and an initial appointment is scheduled.

4. Initial Consult: 1hr 30 mins | 1hr follow up time is allocated for the therapist to formulate a plan, establish programs, communicate with the care team and collaborate with the Compass team.

5. Follow up appointments are scheduled until the next plan review based off the therapist’s recommendation e.g. 45 mins fortnightly home visits.

6. Service Agreement and schedule is provided to the participant.

7. Services are delivered and any AT or small consumables are assessed/trialed/prescribed.

8. Six weeks before the plan review date the therapist submits their service plan review which recommends what the participant will need in the next plan cycle and provides all necessary clinical supporting evidence.

9. Once new plan date is allocated, the process repeats from step 5.
