Ascend Health

We are passionate about empowering people and the community

Team Karrinyup

Our extensive training means Ascend is able to give health professionals a high level of autonomy, trusting them to decide how best to care for our members. With the assistance of our custom built cloud technology, we've eliminated many of the manual administrative tasks that prevent information flowing between your support workers and your therapist.

Team Leader

My name is Sophie Waddington and I have just completed my third year of Occupational Therapy at Curtin University. I work part time as a support worker at Ascend and I am also the Team Leader for Karrinyup and Ellenbrook teams. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors as much as I can, whether at the beach, playing sports, or seeing my friends and family.
