Opening in 2016 we have grown from a small 3 room clinic to 2 sites with large diverse spaces offering occupational therapy, speech pathology psychology/counselling. Our mission in opening was to create an inclusive space where assessment and intervention could be client and family specific rather then a one size fits all approach. To enhance this, we have built varied models of service from direct intervention to parent/family training services. These are explained further in our company information pack available on our website.

We value engagement and have built our clinical spaces to maximize our client engagement using various spaces and equipment. To maximize use of the equipment and client experience we have developed an extensive discipline specific and transdisciplinary training program which is accessible through our company learning portal.
