About Us

Umbo is a social enterprise created to solve a huge problem – the lack of speech and occupational therapy across Australia. At Umbo, we believe that despite where you live, no one should be forced to wait 18 months to access vital health care.

As a social enterprise, Umbo is committed to reinvesting 50% of its profit back into the company to reach more vulnerable communities.

We measure and report not only our financial metrics, but also our social impact metrics. From wait times avoided, to measures of how vulnerable our clients are, to carbon emissions saved from lack of travel, we are passionate and dedicated to our purpose.
