Ascend Health Group

We are passionate about empowering people and the community

Margaret River Disability Services

Ascend Health is in the South-West of Western Australia

Ascend Health therapists not only deliver high-quality local therapy services, but they also play a key role in communicating with our members, as well as mentoring our support workers and therapy assistants.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists work with people to assist them to achieve participation in everyday occupations that lead to healthy and independent lives. We seek to understand what you can do and what you want to do, your goals and motivations, and then offer advice or techniques to get you back to doing things more easily and safely. Learn more about how occupational therapy can help you.

Struggling to find an Occupational Therapist?

We offer highly-trained and dedicated therapy assistants that can help with many daily tasks. They can complement the role and services delivered by allied health professionals, by undertaking some of the duties that require less developed skills. In addition to the support you might already receive, the types of tasks that a therapy assistant can do may include some activities that require a higher level of knowledge and skill than is provided by a support worker. Give us a call to discuss your needs and to see if a therapy assistant would be suitable.

Aged care

Acute care and rehabilitation, community care, and residential care

Mental health

Based on a referral from your GP

Working with children

Helping to achieve developmental milestones in partnership with the family
