Concentric are excited to announce that it has acquired Sydney based paediatric occupational therapy and speech pathology provider Kids Focus effective as of 1 August 2024.ย ย
This acquisition is the second paediatric allied health support services Concentric has undertaken, with Achieve Therapy based in Revesby NSW being the first just prior to the global pandemic in 2020.ย ย
Kids Focus was established in 2008 by speech pathologist Jacqueline Boyd and occupational therapist Lauren Cleary, who had a common goal to offer the best holistic services for their clients. Since then, Kids Focus has become a busy multidisciplinary practice and has expanded to include a team of caring and committed professionals of speech pathologists and occupational therapists.ย ย
Nicholas Beckett, Managing Director of Concentric said that โ We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring, with both businesses sharing similar values. Concentric aims to increase access to quality care for 10 million people over the next ten years and through the purchase of the Kids Focus business, we are now better positioned to achieve this goal. Additionally we are focussed on increasing our service delivery of paediatric allied health services, to complement our existing services to NDIS and private clients in the community, as well as aged care.โ
โThe acquisition process will involve several stages, including the integration of Kid’s Focus into our teamโs systems and central support infrastructure. By being part of Concentric, Kids Focus can take full advantage of our existing recruitment, accounting, business development and marketing functions. We are committed to maintaining transparent and open communication throughout the process of transition and will provide regular updates as we move forward.โ
Lauren Cleary, Founder and Director of Kids Focus further noted that โwe are all thrilled to be joining Concentric, and we are looking forward to what opportunities await us. Running a small business has its challenges and we felt that the timing was right to take advantage of being part of an experienced larger allied health provider such as Concentric.โย ย
At this stage there is no change to the service delivery by Kids Focus or the location of the business in Penshurst. All new client enquiries will remain via the Kids Focus website or by calling (02) 9570 3322.ย ย
