Trusted, Professional, Person-Centred Support
Mapendo Allied Health provides compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based support tailored to each person’s strengths, needs, and goals.
Led by an AASW-affiliated social work professional with experience across mental health, child and family services, psychosocial support, and community care, our practice is grounded in integrity, inclusion, collaboration, and accountability.
We operate independently as a subcontractor in partnership with a registered NDIS provider. NDIS service agreements, funding, and claims are managed through the registered provider. Mapendo Allied Health is not independently registered with the NDIS Commission.
We are committed to ethical, transparent, and high-quality services that promote wellbeing, independence, safety, and meaningful outcomes. Further information about our NDIS arrangements is available upon request.
