NeuroRehab Allied Health Network exists to empower people with a neurological condition to live life full of choice, inclusion and new possibilities. 

Our core values are - We’re on your team, We Innovate, We are Enthusiastic and We Expand Horizons! 

We are a respected, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation service catering to the unique needs of People with neurological conditions of all ages.
