Umbo

About

Three co-founders of Umbo sit down to talk about some burning issues within the allied health, online therapy and non-profit sectors.


Umbo is a social enterprise that was set up to combat one of Australia's unknown problems: access to speech and occupational therapy. As the third least densely populated country in the world, Australia is home to many small towns that don't have the facilities to cope with the amount of children in their area who need access to these services. Via an online platform, Umbo connects therapists and families, in order to deliver therapy in under a week, instead of waiting up to 18 months, which is the case in some rural parts of Australia.
