Accelerate your outcomes with cost-effective habit coaching to practice routines and skills in between therapy sessions.
Habit Coaches are available exclusively to our NDIS participants in Inner Eastern Melbourne who receive occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, early childhood or positive behaviour support services.
Because the best way to deliver positive change is to engage a habit coach as part of your team to practice the new skills you’ve learnt between your therapy sessions that result in life changing habits.
Habit coaching helps children, teenagers, and adults with disabilities in Inner Eastern Melbourne practice new skills and habits between therapy sessions. Some of the outcomes they can help you achieve include:
A habit coach works under the guidance of a qualified practitioner, so your first step to getting started with therapy is to meet with a disability practitioner in your home. They can get to know you, your family and other support team members to understand the outcomes you all want. If you’re already receiving services speak with your practitioner who can refer you to a habit coach.

Habit Coaches are classified as Capacity Building supports and provide services at the level 2 therapy assistant rate.
Habit Coaches are passionate, empathetic team members with a shared purpose for helping people achieve positive change. They work under the direct supervision of your practitioner.
They may have a Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance (or similar), graduates with a degree in health, disability or a related field, or tertiary students studying a bachelor’s degree in a health-related field (in Years two three, or four).
Sessions can vary in duration and frequency but are a minimum of three hours (including travel).
