Who We Are | Ko Wai Matou:

Better Days started with a simple vision: to provide better community-centred support services for people living with a disability, and to be a better place to work for all team members by putting our clinicians at the front and centre of what we do.

She envisioned bringing together like-minded Allied Health professionals dedicated to providing the highest level of care. People who genuinely loved what they did and wanted to achieve outstanding results for clients.

Today Better Days remains owned and run by Allied Health professionals. This helps make all the difference and puts people first!
