About Us

Our History

Fortify Health Group was founded in 2022 with a small, dedicated team delivering allied health, multicultural mental health and NDIS support coordination across two locations (Mount Gravatt and Springwood).

Fortify has grown quickly since then, and has a highly-skilled multidisciplinary team that specialises in supporting people to resolve complexity and manage complex health and disability needs from a holistic approach. Our supports now also include paediatric and adult allied health, psychiatry, high intensity support work and case management delivered by nurses as well as complex health related accredited and non-accredited training.

We now are spread across 4 locations, including a dedicated Fortify Health Kids space at Springwood, and deliver services in clinic and in the community all across South East Queensland.

Hi, I’m Merike.

I am a passionate and dedicated occupational therapist who completed my studies at the University of the Free State, South Africa. My journey in this field began during my Community Service year at a local clinic, where I gained experience in paediatrics, physical rehabilitation, and mental health. I transitioned to private practice, where I further enhanced my skills in physical rehabilitation, mental health, vocational rehabilitation, and hand therapy.

After moving to Australia, I expanded my expertise by working as an NDIS provider, supporting both paediatric and adult clients. This experience allowed me to make a meaningful impact on individuals with diverse needs, empowering them to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

I believe every individual has the right to a meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of their capacity or potential. With a strong sense of responsibility and an eagerness to continually learn, I strive to provide compassionate, dignified care that empowers individuals to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

Occupational therapy is more than a profession to me; it is a way to help people discover their strengths, regain function, and find purpose. Witnessing clients master new skills, regain independence, and experience an improved quality of life is the most rewarding part of my work.

Known for being friendly, empathetic, and caring, I am deeply committed to fostering connections within the community and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive.
