Blue Fox Health actively advocates the benefits of telehealth for NDIS participants and how it can enhance access to occupational therapy and dietitian services. Furthermore, telehealth removes the travel costs associated with home visits making your funding stretch further.

Therapy Services via Telehealth
Speech therapy via telehealth has proven to be effective in improving communication skills for individuals of all ages. By leveraging video conferencing and online tools, speech therapists can provide personalized assessments, exercises, and interventions in the comfort of the client’s own home. Telehealth eliminates geographical barriers, allowing access to qualified therapists regardless of location. It also offers convenience, flexibility, and increased engagement, as clients can easily integrate therapy into their daily routines.

Moreover, telehealth provides NDIS participants with access to a broader pool of OTs. You can see a staff member from Perth or Melbourne even if you live in Darwin. As you have access to a larger staff pool you can choose therapists with specific expertise or experience in your disability or condition. Another, problem we often encounter at blue fox health is that many of the participants we see are in school during business hours. The nature of Telehealth provides more flexible scheduling, as therapists can provide services outside of regular business hours, accommodating the unique needs and preferences of NDIS participants.
