About Us

Our Story

Seed of Hope Health is a place for people of all ages, backgrounds and faiths. Our mission is to provide person centred and evidence based Speech Pathology and Counselling services to individuals of all ages in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

Our vision is that every person can communicate and actively engage in all areas of their life with confidence, be supported by their family, carers, community, and other health professionals.

We’re also passionate about giving back to our local community. One of the ways we do that is by donating a portion of our net earnings to Crossway LifeCare, a not-for-profit organisation that provides support to those experiencing family violence, mental health conditions, financial, and other challenging life situations. We also donate to the Stroke Foundation to support the research and trial of their Stroke Ambulance.

At Seed of Hope, we value:

  • We embrace inclusivity, recognise and value each individual’s strengths and circumstance, and we empower every person to make their own decisions;

  • We serve others with love, empathy and without judgment, and aim to create a caring and supportive community around the individual to help them be successful and flourish in their everyday life;

  • We are committed to transparency and professional conduct in everything we do and strive to do what is best for our clients; and

  • We are driven to continuously learn, research and improve our service and practices to an excellent standard.
