Mission Statement

It is our mission to provide the most effective clinical and therapeutic approach and technique to enable solutions that allow children and adults to improve their feeding and swallowing ability and thus, improve their quality of life.

At Melbourne Swallowing Clinics we evaluate each individual’s strengths and weaknesses, consider all past history and current medical status, family concerns and wishes and develop a complete therapeutic plan for the individual.

We include and educate families in our approach and therapies and encourage their active involvement, if appropriate within the session and then, home environment to maximise its impact and maintain the momentum of therapeutic change occurring.

We are particularly aware of the special needs of our elderly clients that may need assistance not only with their swallowing but communication skills. We will always protect the interests and look after our senior clients that present with cognitive impairment and together with their families act as an advocate for them.

The clinical and functional issues that we deal with not only affect those who are diagnosed and treated but also their families. Therefore we offer our services of education, consultation, counselling and advocacy to the families that we serve.
