About Us

Ripple Allied Health is a growing small OT practice. We service the northern suburbs of Melbourne, with a home base in Preston and opportunity to curate a caseload that is within a 30-minute radius of Preston or your own home base. We offer individual assessment and intervention for adolescents and adults within the community, with most of our clients being NDIS participants. We understand that our clients require highly individualised and skilled support to realise their goals, and our working structure promotes this through the many learning opportunities, formal and informal, that we provide. We also understand the workplace crisis of professional burnout and aim to provide a workplace that supports a sustainable and resilient workforce. We expect ongoing input from our team to respond to this ever-changing need. We want to grow with you and your career.
