Occupational Therapy

Take control of the everyday with our Occupational Therapy services.

Working alongside both clients and their carers, parents and support network to provide excellent and innovative occupational therapy services, to help with everyday activities that people do as individuals, in families and within their communities.

Our Occupational Therapy team cater to a wide range of physical and psychosocial needs across the lifespan, such as Autism, traumatic brain injury, and sensory processing disorder. Our therapists consider a person’s strengths and aspirations to create meaningful and relevant goals.

We provide comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) to identify and document funding needs for NDIS plans. This includes assessment for: equipment, therapy, home modifications, aids and appliances, driving assessment and vehicle modification or other capacity building or daily living support needs (your future needs for NDIS funding).

​We also outline core supports and care needs as part of our thorough evaluation process.

This can include support with self-care, looking after the place where you live, home modifications, getting out and about, finding or staying in work or education, or participating in social and leisure activities.

Our Occupational Therapy services are supported by NDIS. Find out more on how to claim our services via the NDIS here.
