About Us

Just A Thought Allied Health has a range of psychologists and occupational therapists who support children, young people, and adults who have a mental health issue. Having supported participants in the NDIS over the last seven years, our psychologists and occupational therapists understand the language of the NDIS and how important it is for providers to be responsive to participants in the NDIS scheme.

Being responsive means we are a little outside the box – we aim to be innovative in the way we work. We are happy to deliver therapy on weekends and can also come to you! Give us a call or email and we can discuss how we can support you to live your best life!
