Your multidisciplinary team:

KidsPoint is a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals.

Multidisciplinary care is when professionals from a range of disciplines work together to deliver comprehensive care that addresses as many of the patient's needs as possible. At KidsPoint this care is delivered by a range of professionals functioning as a team under one organisational umbrella brought together as a unique team. Your team of allied health professionals share consultation notes and reports which allow them to work on a shared care plan. As part of this shared care there may be case discussions scheduled to ensure the goals of the therapy are being met.

Case Discussions:

As part of the shared care All relevant professionals and disciplines involved in the provision of client care. Members of the case conference demonstrate the level of expertise and specialisation required to contribute to the case conference within their various discipline areas. Ensure members of the team have the authority to support recommendations/outcomes of the case conference. Consider the following for inclusion (non-exhaustive): 

Therapy Assistants:

At KidsPoint, we offer a wide range of therapies and training opportunities. Within the psychological/mental health team and Occupational Therapy team, KidsPoint offers training to undergraduate students who are enrolled in (or have previously completed) psychological studies or are currently studying Occupational Therapy. These students work under the title of ‘therapy assistant’.

Therapy assistants are supervised by qualified psychologists (either registered psychologists or clinical psychologists) or our Clinical director at KidsPoint. Therapy assistants are provided with an evidence-based treatment plan that is aligned with therapy goals and is overseen by a qualified psychologist or clinical director. Therapy assistants have regular supervision with the lead, qualified clinician to ensure that therapy goals are being achieved. Throughout the treatment, confidentiality is maintained in accordance with privacy regulations.

Therapy assistants are an affordable therapy option that can be offered to support children and their families. Therapy assistants may also be able to provide occasional school/home visits, although, this is decided on a case-by-case basis.

After the initial intake appointment with the lead, qualified psychologist, a therapy assistant may be suggested for a period of appointments. This will be discussed with you in the initial appointment.

If you have any questions/concerns, please feel free to contact either the practice manager or the lead clinician. If you consent to your child seeing a therapy assistant, please confirm by signing below.

Appointments:

After your initial appointment, the therapist will recommend the treatment plan. Appointments are made as a ‘block’ of therapy in a time slot that is most suitable. Before and after school appointments are generally not available or have an extensive waitlist. Once the block of therapy is complete, your therapist will recommend future treatment or discharge. Please note if future treatment is required you may not be able to get the same appointment time as you originally had scheduled.
