About Activate

Activate Allied Health opened its doors in March 2021. We are advancing the quality of life of our community by building a world where physical, mental and social wellness is accessible, enjoyable and life changing.

Our philosophy for care is founded on innovative, inclusive, and integrated health solutions – bringing together a team of allied professionals to support our clients in their pursuit of a more active life.
