Disability NDIS Mackay Engedi Support Coordination

Speech waitlist open!

The Engedi Therapy Hub is very excited to announce that our Speech Therapy team is now ready to receive new referrals!

The fabulous Speech Therapy team, Fiona and Abbi have been working really hard in the background to meet demand and all waitlisted service for speech therapy has now been met.

Please be patient as Fiona and Abbi commence work on new referrals based on capacity and service scope. Engedi acknowledges that speech therapy is a service with high demand in the Mackay community and as such all new referrals will be treated as priority and Fiona and Abbi will work through the waitlist by date order. This means no requests for urgent action can be considered as all referrals will be considered priority to ensure fairness and equity.

Fiona and Abbi are looking forward to supporting new clients and commit to providing a quality service that aims to support improved quality of life for people living with a disability.
