Ascend Health is a registered NDIS provider operating in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Sunshine Coast (QLD)
Speech therapists or speech pathologists work with individuals, both adults and children, who experience trouble with a range of needs including communication, eating, drinking, or swallowing.
We're focused on bringing high-quality healthcare back into the community. Care started in the community in the first place, with most services being delivered in peoples homes. Technology was one reason health systems became hospital-centric as health professionals started to meet around expensive equipment and knowledge centres that allowed them to specialise. However, technology now allows us to bring a team of professionals to your home to help you achieve your goals.
Speech Therapists are funded by the NDIS to work with you to achieve your goals:
