Why Choosing Local, Lifespan-Focused Therapy Services Matters: Meet the Team at South Coast Therapy & Support Group

Shoalhaven Business of the Year 2024

When it comes to accessing high-quality allied health support, local matters. At South Coast Therapy & Support Group (SCT), we pride ourselves on being more than just a clinic—we’re your neighbours, your supporters, and your partners in care. Our team of experienced, local health professionals is what sets us apart from other providers in the region.

The Advantage of Local, Connected Care

Choosing a local therapy provider has countless benefits. You’re not just accessing services—you’re building relationships with people who understand your community, your lifestyle, and the unique challenges and opportunities in the Shoalhaven and Illawarra regions. Our therapists live and work locally, and their deep ties to the area allow them to collaborate effectively with schools, community centres, GPs, NDIS partners, and local councils.

This connection results in faster referrals, coordinated care, and smoother support transitions, particularly for those with complex needs or families managing multiple therapy streams.

A Comprehensive Range of Services Under One Roof

Unlike many other providers who specialise in one area or age group, SCT offers a wholistic, lifespan-focused approach. From early childhood to adulthood, we provide:

• Initial assessments

• Therapy planning and goal setting

• Ongoing occupational therapy

• Speech pathology

• Assistive technology prescription

• Mental health support

• Functional capacity evaluations

• Home modification assessments

• Group therapy programs

• Intensive school holiday services

• …and much more

This integrated model means fewer transitions between providers and a greater focus on long-term outcomes. Whether you’re looking for support with fine motor development in a preschooler, speech and social skills in a teen, or equipment funding for an older adult, we can help.

What Makes SCT Different?

Many providers have small teams or narrow service offerings. At SCT, our size is our strength. With a large, multidisciplinary team, we can match clients with the right therapist from the start and offer seamless support across therapy types and funding streams (including NDIS, Medicare, and private).

Here’s why our team makes a difference:

• Diverse expertise: We have occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and allied health assistants with specialised training across areas like autism, neurological conditions, sensory integration, and communication disorders.

• Continuity of care: Clients can remain with SCT through different life stages, preventing the disruption of switching providers.

• Collaborative team culture: Our therapists work together, sharing insights and strategies to deliver well-rounded care.

• Capacity for growth: Thanks to our team size and structure, we can quickly accommodate new referrals and adjust services as client needs evolve.
