At Independent Rehabilitation Services we believe that maximising communication is integral to achieving your goals.

Speech Pathologists are experts in the assessment, diagnosis and management of disorders of speech, language, voice and swallowing and work with you to maximise your communication and swallowing potential.

Our Speech Pathologists are experienced in providing services to people who have experienced an Acquired Brain Injury, various other neurological events and clients in the disability sector. We work with each person to develop a tailored plan to ensure you communicate to the best of your ability or that your swallowing is safe.

We establish programs in the home, place of residence or local community, to maximise function and achieve the best outcomes for all our clients.

We have a whole person approach, we focus on the goals that matter the most to our clients and we advocate for our clients’ needs. 

We believe every individual has the right to participate in their life and community and that change continues for a person as they integrate and gain independence in these areas. 

Working with a multidisciplinary team allows us to provide a holistic approach to our care. We also work closely with our client’s support system to maximise outcomes.

Besides the support we give our clients, our team receive boundless support to ensure they are assisted in the work they do.
