Felicity Pidgeon Fong

Owner/Principle Occupational therapist

Felicity has lived and worked in the Northern Territory since 2005, providing services to clients in Darwin and many remote communities across the Top End and Central Regions. She has experience working in aged care, disability and palliative care.

Felicity has a passion for Indigenous and Remote Health. Over the years she has developed an understanding of the complexities of the unique and culturally diverse nature of work through the Territory.

Felicity has built strong links with stakeholders across the region and values the importance of close professional and personal client relationships. She believes in the need for reliable and accessible services for all, including those living in very remote locations.

Outside of work Felicity loves to be active; travelling, hiking, ultra distance running and exploring the outdoors.
