how allied 42 started...

Allied 42 was created with a simple belief:
Independence isn’t just about equipment or modifications - it’s about supporting the whole person within their environment. 

Hi, I’m Samantha - an Occupational Therapist, Gympie local for almost 5 years and the founder of Allied 42.

After 10+ years working in the Queensland Health sector as an OT, I saw something that didn’t sit right.
Too many people over 50 were only accessing support after something had gone wrong - a fall, a hospital stay, or a sudden loss of independence.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Allied 42 was built to change the focus from reactive care to proactive support - helping people stay strong, independent, and confident in their everyday lives for as long as possible.

I’m a qualified, registered Occupational Therapist with experience across:

• Community and in-home support 
• Functional capacity and independence assessments 
• Falls prevention and home safety 
• Working alongside people with disability and older adults 

I’ve spent years supporting people to navigate real-life challenges - not just in clinical settings, but in their homes, routines, and communities.

That’s shaped how Allied 42 works today:
Practical, personalised, and focused on what actually matters to you.

Our Focus

Allied 42 provides proactive, community-based Occupational Therapy for adults who are at risk of functional decline due to ageing, illness, disability or injury.

We work with clients to:

• Stay living safely at home 
• Reduce falls risk and hospitalisation 
• Maintain independence in daily activities 
• Support cognitive, physical, and social wellbeing

Rather than focusing only on immediate safety, we look closely at what truly determines whether someone can remain at home:

• their wellbeing 
• social connection 
• cognitive health 
• understanding of their condition 
• and their personal goals

We focus on early, proactive support to prevent decline and reduce the risk of hospitalisation. 

At Allied 42, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.

We take the time to understand:

• What your day looks like 
• What’s getting harder 
• What you want to keep doing 

From there, we create simple, realistic strategies that fit into your life - not the other way around.

Sometimes that’s:

• Small home modifications 
• Building strength and balance 
• Changing habits that increase fall risk 
• Or just having the right support in place before things escalate

We accept referrals from GPs, allied health professionals, support coordinators, and private clients.
Private services are available, with quotes and invoicing suitable for health fund claims.
