Our last social group theme was paint and sip (please don’t cancel us- it was non alcoholic wine / we absolutely do not have a liquor license). Everyone had an absolute ball throwing their chaotic ideas onto a canvas (guided by a very patient Jessi) and playing lots of word games!

We intend to run these groups pretty regularly, and the activities we do within the group will vary each time 🎨 🎲 🎤 🥘

If you have any wonderful clients who would love to yap with us, we have an easy online form on our website to register your interest 🤍

Brain Matters Allied Health is officially an NDIS registered provider! This means we can continue providing our amazing services to our current plan managed and self managed clients… and now NDIA managed clients too!

There are currently over 250,000 NDIS providers operating in Australia, with only around 15,000 of those providers being registered. We are proud to be totally NDIS compliant and joining the growing list of registered providers in the country 🥳

We are looking to rent out our gorgeous clinic rooms in Semaphore on a Monday / Saturday as they are currently only in use Tuesdays to Fridays. Ideally suited to therapists working with teens or adults as the clinic has been designed with this population in mind. If you’re a sole trader perhaps only needing a clinic space once a week (having a mixed clinic and mobile caseload, or simply working part time) this is the space for you! The board room space could also be utilised for participant group activities, team professional development or stakeholder meetings!

We’re basing our rental pricing on our own overheads, the rental cost of similar spaces, the quality of the space and amazing location. In saying that, pricing can be flexible for ongoing / long term users of the space. All renters will have access to the lovely kitchen and bathrooms.

Pricing starts from $40 p/h (standard clinic room) with 2 hour minimum required and lower rates for full day use.

We will be proritising those wanting full day use to make bookings less messy / avoid booking errors. Feel free to share with any clinicians who might be interested in operating in this boutique space - without the crazy overheads.

At this stage we are just putting out the feelers to find professionals who are the right fit.

Please note: there may also be one or two rooms available on other days for the right ongoing renters when we are out on mobile visits/ not using the space.

Exciting news!

Our social club is back on in our beautiful new semaphore clinic 🌊

Social club aims to promote social connection and conversation through a range of speech pathology coordinated, evidence based activities. Many of our clients have communication difficulties due to brain injury or neurodegenerative conditions- and this often results in social isolation. We provide a relaxed, fun and carefree environment for individuals with communication impairment to connect with similar individuals. Crafts & laughs included!

The cost of this group will depend on number of attendees but can be claimed through the therapy line from IDL budget for those using their NDIS plans. There are limited places available so get in touch to book 🤍
