Swallowing difficulties are called ‘dysphagia’.

We provide thorough assessment of swallow function, followed by recommendations for management as well as the provision of intensive therapy if indicated.

This service can include Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies, or referral for Fibreoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing if necessary.

‘Trismus’, or a reduced mouth opening, can have extensive impacts on many areas of an individual’s life, including their ability to eat, talk, or clean their teeth.

We provide comprehensive assessment and structured intensive therapy programs for the rehabilitation of jaw function.

Changes to speech can effect all areas of life.

We’ll work with you to understand your current challenges and goals, and do what we can to achieve your most intelligible, natural and functional speech quality.

This could consist of a combination of assessment, therapy, and community integration.

‘Dysphonia’ is the medical term for disorders of the voice. It can result from a variety of aetiologies.

A medical consult will be required prior to commencing voice therapy.

Our expertise does not stretch to professional voice users.

A ‘tracheostomy'‘ is a surgical procedure to make a hole in the front of the windpipe so that a tube can be inserted to help with breathing.

We provide home- or community-based support and education for individuals living with a tracheostomy, including managing any swallowing and/or voice difficulties that might be experienced as a result.

A ‘laryngectomy ‘ involves the surgical removal of the voice box.

Adjusting to life after laryngectomy can be challenging.

We aim to partner with your primary health service to provide extra support to you, and your support network, on return home - or at any point in your future.
