01
Registered provider holds funding
Under Support at Home, a registered provider holds the participant's funding and care plan. That organisation remains accountable for programme compliance.
Funding for physio and exercise physiology at home
Alera Healthcare helps families and coordinators understand how physiotherapy and exercise physiology can sit within Support at Home, DVA and private payment arrangements. We are an associated provider, not a registered Support at Home provider. A registered provider holds the participant's funding and care plan; we deliver clinical physio and EP when arranged. Confirm your situation on a 15-minute call. That call is planning only, not a treatment session.
Three simple steps
02
Alera Healthcare delivers Physio and EP
Alera Healthcare works as an associated provider. We deliver physiotherapy and exercise physiology on behalf of the registered provider, with clear clinical notes and coordination.
03
Same physio wherever possible
The same physio returns wherever possible. Families and coordinators keep a single point of contact while paperwork stays with the registered provider.
01
Support at Home physio
Under the Aged Care Act 2024, Support at Home funding is held by a registered provider. Alera Healthcare works as an associated provider, delivering physiotherapy and exercise physiology on behalf of those registered providers.
We coordinate directly with your registered provider so clinical care and paperwork stay accurate.
Physiotherapy is typically treated as a clinical support under the programme. Ask your registered provider about participant contributions for your specific plan.
02
DVA
Eligible veterans and war widows may access allied health under DVA arrangements. We discuss entitlement and referral requirements during a quick 15-minute call so expectations stay clear before care begins. Card rules are not published here. See DVA home physio and exercise physiology.
03
Private payment
Privately funded clients are welcome. Clients or family can enquire online or call 040 55 77 555, and no GP referral is needed. Fees are confirmed on your 15-minute call rather than published as fixed packages, and Alera provides an itemised invoice for every visit. How a private home visit is arranged is set out on private physio at home. Plain-English notes are in what private home physio costs.
