Claire and Nathan Carson founded South Coast Therapy & Support Group in 2020 when they saw the need for locally owned and operated allied health services. What began as a sole-practitioner occupational therapy practice has grown into a multidisciplinary team offering Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology and Allied Health Assistant support.
Based in Nowra, we service the Shoalhaven and Illawarra regions in person and provide telehealth Australia-wide. We work with clients of all ages, across a wide range of diagnoses and funding options. We're also expanding our telehealth offering to include Dietetics, Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy.
Claire and Nathan have lived in the Shoalhaven for most of their lives and love the local area. They are raising their three children here, who attend local schools. They volunteer in the local community, and in their free time you'll often find them exploring the beautiful Shoalhaven.
