Our Services
We partner with our clients to understand their individual goals. We assess and discuss an innovative therapeutic strategy to get the most out of their NDIS plans.
We tailor therapy plans/programs that involve regular individualised therapy sessions and empower the individual or their supports with knowledge and skills to implement therapy opportunities throughout everyday activities.
We are passionate about working collaboratively with our clients in the context of their everyday lives in order for therapy to be functional, holistic and motivating. We travel to a convenient place that is relevant to the client’s goals whether that be in the community or their home.
