2022 has been unlike any other…
Starting with one of the most significant undertakings and transitions in Therapy Connects history.
Through our integration with Kinela, we were able to step into the next evolution of Therapy Connect, with the capacity of a bigger team, more resources, and an increased ability to serve more clients across 5 allied health disciplines.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, but we did it, and we couldn’t be prouder of the commitment and tenacity of our incredible team! Not only did we achieve integration, but we were also able to hit some fantastic milestones as an organisation, and we want to share those with you all.
