Hire a Special Needs Carer
Apex care professionals are allied health professionals that are qualified and experienced in a number of disciplines including physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and special needs care.
Our carers are looking for families to work with who:
- need a carer that combines child care and therapy support
- want their carer to learn therapy programs and implement these into daily life
- need flexible, reliable care
- wants a carer to help their child reach their NDIS goals
Talk to us to see how you can use your NDIS Funding for a care professional!
Apex care professionals work closely with your family and the extended therapy and support team to learn the therapy programs and also, to have a great relationship with you.
When you welcome an Apex care professional into your home, you will be able to focus on being a parent again and the joy that brings, rather than being a therapist.

Camille - US Alumni!
Physical Therapist
Over 3000 hours experience | Experienced with Autism & Down Syndrome
Camille is a US alumni that spent 1 year working with a boy that has autism and his older sister.
As a physical therapist, she tried to make the little boy move as much as possible. She planned for each day: Walking, yoga, strength exercises, cardio exercises. The family’s goal for him was to lose weight and gain more power because his muscles were weak.
For her second year, she took care of 2 children. An 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. The little boy had cochlear implants. He didn’t really need physical therapy so Camille took him to speech therapy and learned how to work with children with hearing loss.

Sabine
Physical Therapist
Over 750 hours experience | Worked with ADD, ADHD
Sabine has lived and worked in Ireland and Costa Rica as a carer. Being an actively involved in sports from a young age, she started to think about the physiological contexts and relationships and wanted to earn the professional knowledge about the complete musculature system to learn how to optimise it. She was looking for a profession which enabled her to help herself and not to be dependant on a doctor for every injury. Through this, she learned to help other people too.
Sabine has worked with paediatric children in a children’s home where the age range varied from preterm baby’s to adolescent children.
