Let’s face it: when someone says “quarterly allied health reporting,” your first instinct isn’t to break into a song and dance. We know that more reporting isn’t something anyone (especially Aged Care Providers) want to hear.

But alas, the time has come. From July 1, 2025, Australian Aged Care Providers will need to submit their allied health data to the Department of Health and Aged Care as part of the National Quality Indicator Program (NQIP).

Now before you start panic-Googling, we’ve got good news: Plena Healthcare has your back (and your neck, knees, hips, and cognitive function – we’re multi-modality, remember?).

Why Is This Happening?

The government wants to make sure Aged Care residents are getting the allied health services they need – fair enough. Right?

Enter the awesome Plena team:

Here’s why having Plena Healthcare as your one-stop allied health partner is the way to go:

  • One Provider, All Modalities: Physio and OT? ✅ Podiatry, Dietetics and Speech Pathology too? ✅✅✅.
  • One Contact Point: Your delightful Plena account manager (yes, the one who always returns your emails 😉) handles all the reporting coordination.
  • One Neat Package of Data: We’ll send you exactly what you need, when you need it, in the format the department wants.

Instead of having to chase multiple allied health providers, Plena wraps everything up in a tidy, efficient, data-driven bow.

What Should You Do Now?

  1. Call us. Email us. Send a carrier pigeon. However you do it, get in touch with your Plena account manager.
  2. Let us take the reporting burden off your plate so you can focus on what really matters – delivering amazing care for your residents.
  3. Relax, knowing you’ve got the A-team of allied health reporting in your corner.

Because let’s be honest – you didn’t get into Aged Care to become a data analyst. You got into it to make a difference. And we’re here to help you do just that, with smiles, support, and spreadsheets that actually make sense.

Cheers,
