Thrive Health Therapies offers expert mobile speech pathology services across Adelaide, delivering personalised, evidence-based support to children, adults and seniors.

What Is Mobile Speech Pathology?
Mobile speech pathology brings professional speech therapy directly to your preferred environment. Our skilled speech pathologists assess your strengths, challenges, and goals, then collaborate with you to enhance communication, language, and swallowing functions.

We support individuals who:
Have difficulty accessing a clinic due to transport, mobility, or fatigue
Live in supported accommodation or residential care
Require functional assessment in their home, school, or workplace
Prefer therapy in familiar surroundings to reduce anxiety and improve outcomes
