A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have a fabulous team of three represent Rivergum at the DEC Shepparton Community Disability Expo; Pavani, Lauren and Tegan.

Our team had a wonderful time conecting with the local community and networking with other providers servicing the Shepparton area, at the Sir Ian McLennan Centre in Mooroopna.

It meant a lot to spend the day alongside families, carers and providers all working toward the same thing.

We hope the year ahead is filled with happiness, good health, and plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Stepping outside the clinic and into the community!

Our OT student had the opportunity to trial a portable mobility scooter in a real-world environment, gaining valuable insight into how the right assistive technology can enhance independence, confidence, and community participation. Experiences like these help build the clinical reasoning needed to match equipment to a person's unique goals and lifestyle.

We Are Now Accepting NDIS Swallow Assessment Referrals in Ballarat!

Rivergum Allied Therapies is pleased to announce that we are now accepting referrals for swallowing (dysphagia) assessments for NDIS participants.

Swallowing difficulties can impact a persons safety, nutrition, hydration, health and overall quality of life. Our Speech Pathology team provides comprehensive assessments to identify swallowing concerns and make recommendations that support safer eating and drinking.

Our assessments may assist participants who:
- Experience coughing or choking after eating meals
- Have difficulty chewing or swallowing food and drinks
- Require mealtime support recommendations
- Need assessment and reporting to support their NDIS goals

We are currently accepting referrals in Ballarat and have capacity to commence services promptly.

A referral can easily be submitted via the NDIS Referral link on the home page of our website or get in contact with our team today for more information.

We've Moved!

Well.....sort of!

You will still find us at the same address, but we have officially moved across the hallway into our new home at 75A Victoria Street, Ballarat East (previously at 75B).

As our team and services continue to grow, we needed a space that could grow with us. Our new premises provides more treatment rooms, a larger waiting area, improved facilities for our team, and a more welcoming environment for everyone who visits us.

For now, here iss a little sneak peek of where you will find us.

We are still settling in and putting the finishing touches on everything, but we can't wait to show you more of our new space soon. Stay tuned for plenty more photos over the coming weeks!

- Same building / Same level / Same abundance of car parking
- Same friendly team
- New location: 75A Victoria Street, Ballarat East

We look forward to welcoming you into our new space!

And if you have already been in to see us, please let us know what you think.
