Physiotherapy

Speech Therapy
MMT Health Speech therapists, also known as speech-language pathologists, work with individuals who have communication disorders or swallowing difficulties. They provide speech and language therapy to improve communication and safe swallowing.
Psychology Counsellors
MMT Health Psychologists and counsellors offer mental health support to individuals who may experience emotional or behavioral challenges. They provide counseling, coping strategies, and therapeutic interventions.
MMT Health starts the process by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the individual's needs, abilities, and goals. This assessment is a collaborative effort involving the person with a disability, their family, healthcare professionals, and the MMT Health team. This assessment ensures that the care plan is tailored to the individual's specific support requirements.
Recognizing the need for specialized care, MMT Health employs highly qualified staff, including registered allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and psychologists. These professionals have the necessary qualifications and experience to provide specialized care tailored to the individual's needs. Continuous training and competency updates are integral to our approach, ensuring our staff remains up-to-date with the latest evidence-based practices.
MMT Health maintains an ongoing monitoring and review process to ensure the effectiveness of the support plan. Regular assessments and progress checks are conducted at predetermined intervals or in response to changes in the individual's health or circumstances, allowing for necessary adjustments to the care plan.
We believe in a holistic approach to healthcare. MMT Health collaborates closely with individuals and other healthcare services, such as medical specialists, therapists, and equipment suppliers, to ensure seamless coordination of care, especially when there is a need for multidisciplinary support.
MMT Health respects the principles of choice and control outlined by the NDIS. We work within the NDIS framework to provide individuals and their families with the flexibility to choose the allied health services and supports that align best with their preferences and needs.
Quality and safety are paramount in our delivery of Allied Health Services. We adhere strictly to NDIS quality and safety standards, ensuring that the care provided is safe, effective, and of the highest quality, promoting the well-being and functional independence of the individual.
