Invercargill Telehealth Speech Therapy

Expert speech therapy from Te Whatu Ora clinician, delivered to your Invercargill home. Same-week appointments available.

If you're a Southland resident with swallowing difficulties or voice disorders needing specialist attention, 230-kilometre Dunedin drives create genuine barriers—especially during winter or lambing season. Geographic isolation shouldn't mean inferior access to expert care. Your speech therapy needs matter just as much. Telehealth brings hospital expertise home.

Speech Therapy for Southland Region

Southland is NZ's southernmost region where geographic isolation typically requires 230-kilometre Dunedin journeys for specialist care. Weather conditions and distance create genuine barriers for rural farming communities needing speech therapy—with public services often requiring 6-8+ week wait times.

We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your Invercargill home or rural property via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—no Dunedin drives, no weather barriers, no costly specialist travel.

Sacha Allnatt (NZSTA #12789, 15+ years Te Whatu Ora) specialises in voice disorders, chronic cough, swallowing difficulties, and upper airway conditions. Hospital-grade therapy from home.
