What is it?

What is allied health?

Allied health is therapy from qualified professionals to help you build skills, get stronger, look after your wellbeing and live more independently. It's usually funded through the Capacity Building Supports in your NDIS plan.

Our services are currently at capacity, and we're growing our team to meet demand. Join our waitlist and we'll be in touch as soon as a place becomes available.

This may suit you if you:

✓ Want to build everyday skills and independence

✓ Would like help with movement, strength or mobility

✓ Want support with your mental health and wellbeing

✓ Need help with life changes, housing or advocacy
