Allied Health Clinic Melbourne
Allied health suport that considers the whole person
An Allied Health Assistant is a trained support professional who works under the direction of an allied health clinician.
At Moi Clinic, AHAs can support goals developed by occupational therapists, speech pathologists and psychologists, helping people practice and apply what they have been working on in therapy.
This might mean practicing communication skills, completing functional activities, building routines, working on community participation or reinforcing strategies introduced by a clinician.
The treating clinician completes any assessment, clinical decision-making and development of the therapy goals. The AHA provides additional opportunities to put those goals into practice.
Why use allied health support?
More opportunities to work towards achieving your goals
Therapy can be more effective when you have opportunities to practice skills outside of your regular clinician sessions.
An AHA can provide additional support between OT, speech pathology or psychology appointments, helping skills and strategies to become part of everyday life.
Psychology Therapy
Psychology therapy can support emotional wellbeing, anxiety, mood, trauma, behaviour, relationships, identity, coping skills and personal development.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
OT supports daily living skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, independence and participation.
Speech Pathology
Speech pathology supports speech sounds, language, fluency, literacy, AAC, social communication and confidence across everyday communication settings.
Individual Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision provides reflective support for health professionals and teachers seeking guidance, development and safe professional practice.
Early Intervention
Early intervention supports young children with developmental delays or emerging concerns through family-centred, collaborative allied health care.
Psychology Assessments
Our assessments can explore autism, ADHD, cognitive functioning, functional capacity, speech and language, OT needs and developmental profiles.

Where do AHA sessions happen?
A safe space for mental health support
Depending on the person’s goals and clinical plan, AHA sessions may take place in:
- the clinic
- the home
- school or education settings
- the workplace
- the community
- other relevant everyday environments
The setting is chosen based on the person’s goals and where additional practice will be most meaningful.
How it works
How AHA supports work with the therapist?
AHA support does not replace your sessions with an OT, speech pathologist or psychologist. Instead, the AHA works as part of the broader therapy team.
01
Identify goals
Your OT, speech pathologist and/or psychologist identifies the goals that may benefit from additional AHA support.
02
Develop a support plan
The treating clinician provides the AHA with clear goals, strategies and guidance for supporting the person.
03
Regular AHA sessions
The AHA provides structured opportunities to practice and apply skills through meaningful activities and everyday routines to support the person achieving their goals.
04
Clinical supervision and review with the clinician
The AHA communicates observations and progress to the treating clinician. The clinician reviews the person’s progress and updates the plan as needed.
