Mobile Allied Health Support to Help You Stay Independent at Home
Healthproof provides mobile allied health services for older Australians accessing the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) across Greater Sydney.
Our experienced allied health clinicians provide assessment, therapy and practical support in the home and community, helping older people maintain their mobility, independence, safety and ability to participate in everyday activities.
Through CHSP, eligible clients may be able to access allied health services including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, podiatry and dietetics, depending on their assessed needs, approved services and local CHSP arrangements.
Whether you are an older Australian or family member looking for support, or a CHSP provider looking to refer a client, our team can help you understand the next steps and confirm current service availability.
What Is the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme, commonly known as CHSP, is an Australian Government aged care program that provides entry-level support to eligible older Australians who need some assistance to continue living safely and independently at home.
CHSP services can provide practical support with everyday needs and may be short-term, occasional or ongoing depending on the person’s assessed needs and approved services.
Allied health and therapy is one of the service types available through CHSP. Allied health can help older adults maintain or improve their mobility, physical function, safety, communication, nutrition and independence.
Healthproof works with CHSP clients, families and providers to deliver approved allied health services in homes and communities throughout Greater Sydney.
CHSP Allied Health Services
Healthproof provides a range of allied health services for older Australians accessing CHSP.
- CHSP Physiotherapy. Our physiotherapists support older adults with mobility, strength, balance, falls prevention, pain management, rehabilitation and maintaining physical function. Physiotherapy may be appropriate when someone is becoming less steady on their feet, experiencing falls, finding walking or transfers more difficult, recovering after illness or hospitalisation, or experiencing a decline in strength and mobility.
- CHSP Occupational Therapy. Our occupational therapists help older adults remain safe and independent with everyday activities at home. This may include functional assessments, home safety assessments, falls prevention strategies and recommendations for appropriate equipment, assistive technology or home modifications.
- CHSP Speech Pathology. Our speech pathologists assess and support older adults experiencing communication or swallowing difficulties. This may include changes to speech, language or communication as well as assessment and recommendations where someone is experiencing difficulty eating, drinking or swallowing safely.
- CHSP Podiatry. Our podiatrists provide assessment and treatment for foot-related conditions that may affect comfort, walking and mobility. Regular podiatry support can help older adults manage their foot health and address issues that may make it more difficult or uncomfortable to remain active.
- CHSP Dietetics. Our dietitians provide nutrition assessment and practical dietary advice based on each person’s individual health needs and goals. Dietetic support may be appropriate where there are concerns around poor appetite, unintended weight changes, malnutrition risk, dietary requirements or nutrition-related health conditions.
Mobile CHSP Allied Health Services Across Greater Sydney
For many older Australians, travelling to a clinic can become difficult as mobility, health or support needs change.
Healthproof provides mobile CHSP allied health services throughout Greater Sydney, allowing assessments and therapy to take place in the client’s own home or another appropriate community setting.
Home-based allied health can also give clinicians a better understanding of how someone manages in their everyday environment. This can be particularly valuable when assessing mobility, falls risk, transfers, daily activities, equipment needs and home safety.
Our mobile clinicians service Western Sydney, South Western Sydney, Sydney City and Inner West, South Eastern Sydney, Northern Sydney and the Nepean Blue Mountains, subject to discipline and clinician availability.
Common Reasons for a CHSP Allied Health Referral
A CHSP allied health referral may be appropriate when an older person is experiencing:
- Reduced mobility or difficulty walking
- Falls, near falls or reduced balance
- Loss of strength or physical function
- Difficulty getting in and out of a chair, bed or shower
- Reduced confidence moving around the home
- Difficulty completing everyday activities independently
- Changes following a hospital admission, illness or injury
- Concerns about home safety
- A need for equipment, assistive technology or home modifications
- Foot pain or foot health concerns affecting mobility
- Communication or swallowing difficulties
- Poor appetite, unintended weight loss or nutrition concerns
Our team can help identify the most appropriate allied health discipline based on the client’s main concerns and goals.
Working With CHSP Providers
Healthproof works with CHSP providers across Greater Sydney to deliver mobile allied health services for their clients.
We understand that providers need more than appointment availability. They need an allied health partner that communicates clearly, provides practical clinical recommendations and keeps the relevant care team informed.
Our clinicians can provide appropriate assessment findings, treatment updates, progress information and clinical recommendations to support coordinated care and ongoing service planning.
With multiple allied health disciplines available through Healthproof, CHSP providers can also refer clients for different allied health needs through one organisation.
