About Us

Why we do what we do

Link Allied Health is a mobile (we come to you) and online provider of allied health supports. It was founded by Dr Delwyne Stephens. Delwyne is a Speech pathologist with post graduate qualifications in public health, research, leadership and business. In her many years working with NDIS participants and their families Delwyne has listened to people tell her about the struggles of knowing where to start, and that simply accessing the right service is often time consuming, confusing and discouraging. Through this experience Delwyne has developed a deep desire to help people to feel heard, and to access the support they need.

Each person who works at Link Allied Health shares her passion for listening to people and then linking them with the services and therapies they want and need. We offer mobile services as well as telepractice to enable us to support people locally, and all over Australia.

At Link Allied Health we work hard to LISTEN to what people need, and then use the skills of our expert practitioners to LINK people to supports. These services might be found within Link Allied Health, but if not we will work hard to support you as an NDIS participant, regardless of your age, to find the supports that are right for you.

We provide mobile Speech pathology services locally to adults, as well as online services to NDIS participants.
