Speech Therapy for Northland Region

Northland is NZ's northernmost region where geographic isolation typically requires 158-kilometre Auckland journeys for specialist care. With 21.8% aged 65+ and healthcare equity challenges affecting Māori whānau, accessible speech therapy is essential—yet public services often require 6-8+ week wait times.

We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your Whangarei home via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—no Auckland travel stress, no cost burdens, no equity barriers for older adults and whānau.

Sacha Allnatt (NZSTA #12789, 15+ years Te Whatu Ora) specialises in stroke recovery, swallowing difficulties, voice challenges, and culturally responsive care. Gentle, expert therapy from home.
