Varia jumped on the AI trend!

We asked ChatGPT to create a fun caricature-style image that represents OT Shelby, her work, and the life behind Varia Allied Health.

OT life, wheelchairs, NDIS reports, family, travel, and Ofcorse the two ducks being raised with Chat GPT’s help 😅

If you want to play along too, copy this prompt into ChatGPT and have a go 👇

“Create a fun caricature-style image that represent me, my work, my values, and my life.”

How fun! 🧡

At Varia Allied Health, we believe in collaboration over competition! 🤝

We're passionate about supporting our local community and working together to create better outcomes for the participants we work with. We're inviting fellow OT's (including sole traders), support coordinators, suppliers, and other fellow allied health clinicians (physiotherapy, speech pathology, etc.) to connect with us!

We're building a local providers network to strengthen partnerships and help match participants with the right supports, particularly when we know who has capacity, and who offers something unique.

If you'd like to be included, we'd love to hear from you!

Send us a message, or email us at admin@variaalliedhealth.com.au with your details, and your capacity, and let's continue to support one another in delivering high-quality, person centred care across our region.

Outreach Adventures with Varia Allied Health! ✨

At Varia, we love supporting people wherever they call home - whether that's in the middle of town, or out on a beautiful rural property like this one. Sometimes the scenery (and the company! 🐴) makes the trip extra special.

Our Commitment to you! 🤝

Effective 1st July 2025, NDIS released the new NDIS Pricing Arrangement and Price Limits.

🚗 NDIS have reduced claimable travel funding for Allied Health Professionals by 50% - resulting in impact to service delivery in rural and remote locations within Australia.

🤗Our commitment to you remains. We will continue to travel to communities in need, working closely with rural and remote communities to delivery necessary Occupational Therapy Services. 👩‍🦽👩‍🦼
