At Elk Health, we believe that with the right support and genuine teamwork, everyone can find ways to do the things that matter to them.
We’re not just another occupational therapy practice
We work with people whose independence, safety or participation in daily life has been affected by injury, disability, illness or ageing. Our team provides education and support for complex injury, partnering with clients, families, insurers and treating teams to simplify the journey. Whatever the circumstances, our focus stays the same: understanding what matters to each person, and building practical, evidence-based pathways to get them there - creating new horizons at every stage of life
Because effective intervention happens in the places where life actually happens.
Working with Elk Health is straightforward. Once a referral is received, we confirm the details and respond promptly with next steps. Our therapists take time to understand each person's goals, environment and circumstances before building a tailored plan and everyone informed at each stage.
We deliver services where they're needed most - in homes, workplaces and out in the community, with telehealth available for added flexibility. We also travel interstate upon request.
Our values in action
Adaptability
We constantly review and adjust how we deliver care, keeping up with new techniques and methods based on your feedback. Our team embraces learning, shares different approaches, and manages change with a growth mindset. When the unexpected happens, we stay calm and find resourceful solutions together.
Compassion
Every interaction matters. We take time to understand your story and needs, celebrate what makes you unique, and provide genuine support through both challenges and achievements. We speak respectfully, stay patient, and create welcoming spaces where you feel truly heard and supported.
Efficiency
We value your time. That means clear communication, timely responses, organised service delivery, and keeping everyone informed. When we say we’ll be there, we are. When issues arise, we solve them together, keeping everything moving forward smoothly.
Knowledge
Our practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and continuous learning. We share resources, ask thoughtful questions, and actively reflect on new research. Through supportive supervision and collaborative learning, we ensure everyone on our team grows in skill and understanding.
Creating New Horizons
What does ‘Elk Health’ mean?
Our story
Selecting a business name is difficult. I wanted something that encompassed the Elk Health philosophy – something that was inclusive, compassionate, holistic and unique. My daughter’s name has the word Elk in it, and if anyone knows her, you know she is the most fiercely independent, determined, confident and capable person. These are the exact qualities that I want my clients to feel after they experience intervention with Elk Health. And hence… the name was born!
