Fortify Health Group is committed to encouraging both staff and students to continuously create, grow and learn. Our programs reflect this commitment, as well as the diverse backgrounds and cultures of our trainers assessors and students alike.
This high intensity program is delivered by AHPRA Registered Nurses.
Our program provides staff with the knowledge and skills to replace and dispose of bags and monitoring health of people using indwelling and suprapubic catheters. This is part of a general support worker role.
In some situations, a support worker may assist a practitioner with insertion by assisting with gathering and passing equipment where appropriate and trained to do so.
Support workers are required to be trained by an appropriate health practitioner such as a registered nurse and follow a care plan developed and overseen by a health practitioner before providing supports.

This program is benchmarked against the NDIS skill descriptors and practice standards and is an engaging program that ensures staff members complete the program with the knowledge and foundational skills to support clients.
Our programs are useful for audit, registration, and re-registration purposes.

Hi, I’m Merike.
I am a passionate and dedicated occupational therapist who completed my studies at the University of the Free State, South Africa. My journey in this field began during my Community Service year at a local clinic, where I gained experience in paediatrics, physical rehabilitation, and mental health. I transitioned to private practice, where I further enhanced my skills in physical rehabilitation, mental health, vocational rehabilitation, and hand therapy.
After moving to Australia, I expanded my expertise by working as an NDIS provider, supporting both paediatric and adult clients. This experience allowed me to make a meaningful impact on individuals with diverse needs, empowering them to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
I believe every individual has the right to a meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of their capacity or potential. With a strong sense of responsibility and an eagerness to continually learn, I strive to provide compassionate, dignified care that empowers individuals to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Occupational therapy is more than a profession to me; it is a way to help people discover their strengths, regain function, and find purpose. Witnessing clients master new skills, regain independence, and experience an improved quality of life is the most rewarding part of my work.
Known for being friendly, empathetic, and caring, I am deeply committed to fostering connections within the community and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive.
