Comparison
Ability Action Australia vs Hey Sprout
Ability Action Australia, part of MedHealth, has provided NDIS allied health since 2020 through home visits, clinics and telehealth.
Hey Sprout is new. We're onboarding our first clinicians now and we aren't NDIS-registered yet, so the table says so. Everything about Ability Action Australia comes from their own website, with a link to the page we used.
