Therapy & rehabilitation

Cognitive and memory rehabilitation

Practical, evidence-based strategies that help you rebuild everyday skills — returning to work or meaningful activities, or simply feeling more like yourself again.

In short

Cognitive rehabilitation uses evidence-based, compensatory strategies to improve everyday memory and thinking — such as external memory aids, routines, attention and learning techniques — focused on your specific goals. We partner with MEMORehab, a six-session memory program delivered 1:1 or in small groups, in person or online.

One-on-one cognitive rehabilitation

Our one-on-one cognitive rehabilitation uses evidence-based research to help you rebuild practical, everyday skills. We focus on your specific goals — whether that’s returning to work, getting back to meaningful activities, managing appointments and medications, or just feeling more like yourself again. Sessions are available in person or via telehealth.

The MEMORehab program

We partner with MEMORehab, a six-session memory rehabilitation program for adults whose memory concerns are affecting everyday activities. It helps you understand how memory works, how it can be affected by different conditions, and what changes in daily life can improve it — then gives you structured practice with evidence-based strategies.

  • Six one-hour sessions with your clinician to learn new memory skills
  • Guidance on putting strategies into practice at home or at work
  • Short educational videos to watch online
  • Computerised exercises to practise strategies
  • Reminders to help you build good memory habits
  • Six additional weeks of access to the material after your sessions finish

Group programs and education

Our group sessions combine practical education and cognitive strategies in a supportive environment. You’ll learn about the impact of different conditions on brain function and practise hands-on strategies alongside peers who understand what you’re going through. In a group setting, MEMORehab takes the form of interactive, collaborative memory training.

Groups may be rebated under Medicare (up to 10 group sessions per calendar year with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan) or funded through NDIS and other schemes.
