Why Would I Need an Occupational Therapist?

It’s simple – Occupational Therapy helps you live life on your terms, with more independence and confidence. Whether it’s managing everyday tasks, moving around your home, or connecting with your community, OTs focus on the whole picture to help you thrive.

Here’s how we help you get there:

  • Assessments: Functional Capacity, End of Plan Reports, Sensory Assessments
  • Assistive Technology & Housing Assessments
  • Capacity Building to Support Your Independence

Our OTs don’t work alone. They’re backed by a team of experts to ensure your care is always top-notch. With regular peer reviews, we keep your goals on track.

Who Do Your Occupational Therapists Help?

OTs can support everyone! No matter your age, goals, or diagnosis, we’ve got your back.

When you reach out, we’ll listen, chat through your needs, we’ll only recommend working together if we truly believe we can make a difference.

Whether it’s through telehealth, in-clinic, or at home across Victoria and Queensland, let’s connect and work together to get you where you want to go.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The frequency of your sessions is a team decision.

Whether it’s weekly, monthly, or every few months, we’ll find what works best for your goals.

Our job? Helping you build the skills and independence to eventually kick us to the curb (in the best way, of course)!

Absolutely!

Each Occupational Therapy support plan is unique to your life goals. Here’s a recent win one of our Melbourne OTs had with Sarah, an NDIS participant with a goal to live independently.

When she started supports with us, Sarah was told that she’d “never live independently.” Struggling with everyday tasks like cooking and eating, it seemed like a mountain too high to climb. But Sarah wasn’t having it.

Our OT worked side by side with Sarah, helping her build confidence and skills in the kitchen, one step at a time. After plenty of hard work and determination, Sarah went from struggling to cooking her favourite cuisine, Italian – delizioso!

And the best part? Now when we visit, Sarah proudly offers us leftovers to heat up. The proof is in the pudding pasta.

OTs play a key role in bringing the right care to you. We’ll guide when to bring in other professionals (with your consent) to make sure you’re fully supported.

Think of healthcare like a 3D movie – each professional brings their own lens, and together, we get the full picture of your needs and goals.

We combine our perspectives to create a plan that’s meaningful and makes a real difference.

 

For example, we recently worked with someone who was having trouble communicating their needs and engaging in risky behaviours when stressed.

Our OT recommended a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner to conduct a behavioural assessment and a Speech Pathologist to help find supportive communication methods.

The NDIS covers a wide range of Occupational Therapy supports to help you reach your goals. Here’s some of the supports that we provide under the NDIS:

  • Functional Capacity Assessments
  • Supported Disability Accomodation (SDA) Assessments
  • Supported Independent Living (SIL) Assessments
  • Home Modifications to improve the safety and accessibility of your residence
  • Assistive Technology and Equipment Prescription including wheelchairs, scooters, and shower chairs, just to name a few…
  • Early Intervention for Children
  • Falls Prevention
  • Mental Health Support
  • Dementia Care and Planning

Here’s how we’ve got you covered:

  • NDIS Registered & Fully Vetted: All our clinicians are NDIS registered and have the necessary Working With Children and police checks.
  • Always Up-to-Date: We stay on top of the latest NDIS guidelines to provide the best care.
  • Highest Standards of Care: All assessments are peer-reviewed to ensure top-quality, effective support.
  • Regular Supervision & Growth Plans: Each clinician has a personalised growth plan, supported by regular supervision.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Our OTs collaborate with Physiotherapists, Speech Pathologists, and Behaviour Support Practitioners to achieve the best outcomes.

We’re here to support you with a dedicated, knowledgeable team working together every step of the way.
