Geelong Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy & Speech Pathology

Your Local Allied Therapy Team

Geelong is where it all started for Allied Therapy Services way back in 2016, and we’re proud to be locally owned and G-Town born and bred.

We offer all three of our key clinical services; occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech pathology to the Greater Geelong, Bellarine, Surf Coast and Golden Plains communities.

Our therapists are on the road, visiting clients in their home, at work or in the community, meaning we come to you for your therapy appointment!

We work to provide tailored solutions and therapy support for a broad range of clients from those living neurological conditions to people with physical or cognitive disability and people experiencing age related changes.

Please note: we work with clients aged 16 years and over. We accept NDIS, TAC, Home Care Package or private referrals.
