Team Meeting Form
To make sure everybody is on the same page, we ask the allied health assistant (AHA, also known as a therapy assistant) to fill out this form during a team meeting with the client’s family and client’s allied health professional (AHP).
AHAs, once you have completed the relevant sections of this form, please respond to the group email thread to notify the client/ client’s family, AHP and info@allyassist.com.au. This will allow all parties to confirm that everything is correct. AHA’s can then refer to this document when undertaking therapy sessions and update it as required.
AHPs, if you have any feedback you’d like to provide to Ally Assist directly, you can get in contact with us at info@allyassist.com.au or by calling 1800 921 422.
