Employer Business Type
Profile Summary
Umbo is a social enterprise that was founded in 2018, when our three co-founders joined together to combat one of Australia's biggest hidden problems: access to speech and occupational therapy in regional Australia.
Living in the third least-densely populated country in the world, Australians who need therapy can often find themselves travelling far too many kilometers in order to get the help they need. In many instances, this can be impractical for lots of people, who instead will opt to join a lengthy waiting list for a service that is understaffed in their hometowns.
We make it easier for people to see a speech or occupational therapist by connecting those in need with allied health professionals. Through an interactive approach to therapy, we put therapists in your home, with all the tools they need to assess how best to deal with your family's needs.
