Upgrade Health: Professional Assessments for Informed Decision-Making

At Upgrade Health, our aged care Occupational Therapists (OTs) specialise in providing comprehensive Medico-Legal Assessments and detailed Report Writing.

    • Identifying the effects of age-related changes on daily living activities.
