What we assist with.

  • Practising occupational therapy strategies (e.g., dressing, cooking, daily living tasks)
  • Supporting physiotherapy goals (e.g., walking, strength, movement routines)
  • Reinforcing speech therapy activities (e.g., communication exercises)
  • Building fine and gross motor skills
  • Supporting behaviour support strategies set by your practitioner

Support that feels like teamwork.

At Unify, we see therapy assistance as more than practice. It’s partnership.

Our assistants are caring, patient, and trained to work closely with you, your family, and your therapists to ensure your progress stays on track. We focus on making every interaction positive, meaningful, and tailored to your personal goals.

Sessions can be delivered at home, at school, in the community or via telehealth, whatever helps you feel most supported.

Real stories

Support that shows.

They sent someone who gets my son.

Honestly, I was exhausted trying to find the right supports through the NDIS. But Unify changed everything. Our OT is not just ticking boxes. She's part of our team.

MelissaParent · OT and behaviour support

Feels like I've got a whole team behind me now.

I used to have to chase every single therapist, and no one spoke to each other. But with Unify it’s all just... connected. My OT, speechy and behaviour support worker all work together and actually talk to me like a person.
