IMMEDIATE AVAILABLITY: Speech Assessments

Due to some late cancellations over the holiday period, we have immediate availability with our Speech Pathologist, Ainjali.

This creates a valuable window for:

• Speech and language assessments
• Communication assessments
• Early identification of developmental needs
• Goal setting and practical strategies for home and school

Ainjali is highly experienced in working with children and families, providing clear, practical, and supportive guidance tailored to each child.

If you have been thinking about getting an assessment done, or if a teacher or health professional has suggested a review, now is an ideal time.

School holidays can be a great opportunity to focus on your child’s communication development without the usual time pressures of term schedules.

Appointments are limited and will fill quickly.

For these families,....

It’s been a big week and we almost missed something important.

A belated happy birthday to Michaela and Anne a couple of amazing members of the Well Balanced Care OT team

Each of you brings something special to Well Balanced Care. Your commitment to your work, your support for each other, and the impact you have in our communities does not go unnoticed.

We’re lucky to have you on the team and we’ll make sure we celebrate properly soon.

Happy Birthday to our amazing Senior Occupational Therapist, Emmah (second from left in the group photo)!

Today the Well Balanced Care team celebrated with a pub-choir style happy birthday sing-along and chocolate cake. While some of us were together in the clinic, most of the team were able to join in virtually from outreach across the region, proving that no matter where we are, we’re still one team, living our belief that healthcare should not be determined by your postcode.

Thank you, Emmah, for the care, expertise, and dedication you bring to our clients and our team every day. We hope you enjoyed the celebration (and the cake)!

On International Women’s Day we recognise the extraordinary women of Well Balanced Care and the remarkable women who are the heart of Regional, Rural and Remote Australia.

The 2026 theme, “Balance the Scales: a call to ensure equality and a fair go for women and girls across Australia and the world,” reminds us that progress for women happens when we actively support, empower and recognise the contributions women make every day in our workplaces and communities.

Across Well Balanced Care, the women in our team are helping balance the scales in the most meaningful ways supporting people to live well, strengthening families, and ensuring that geography does not determine access to care. Through your professionalism, compassion and commitment, you are helping build stronger and healthier communities.

Your work often happens quietly in homes, in conversations, and in moments of care and advocacy, but its impact is profound.

Today we say thank you for the skill, leadership and dedication you bring to your roles and for the difference you make in the lives of the people we support.

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women of Well Balanced Care.
