Occupational Therapy

We evaluate the physical, cognitive, emotional and environmental factors that shape your strengths and challenges in everyday tasks.

Based on the assessment, we work with you to set realistic, personalised goals — often centred on greater independence in the activities of daily living.

We develop a plan tailored to your needs, which may include exercises, adaptive strategies, environmental changes and skill-building activities.

We help you build or regain essential skills — from dressing, grooming and cooking to writing — working on fine and gross motor skills, coordination and sensory processing.

We introduce practical techniques and recommend assistive devices or equipment that make daily tasks more manageable for people with physical or cognitive challenges.

We work with you to address sensory processing challenges and build comfortable, appropriate responses to sensory input.

For people living with cognitive impairment, we provide rehabilitation to support memory, attention, problem-solving and decision-making.

In work and vocational settings, we assess and recommend ergonomic adjustments that improve comfort and productivity and help prevent work-related injuries.

We support children with developmental delays to build the skills they need for learning, social connection and self-care.

We address the impact of mental health conditions on daily life, helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood through therapeutic, activity-based approaches.

An Occupational Therapy Functional Capacity Assessment under the NDIS is carried out by an Occupational Therapist to identify the supports and services a person needs to reach their goals and build independence. It is a thorough look at someone’s functional abilities and requirements across home, work and community life.

In practice, the assessment involves the OT:

• talking with you about your goals, strengths and challenges, and observing you performing tasks or taking part in activities to understand your abilities
• reviewing relevant medical records and gathering information from other professionals, such as doctors or therapists, where needed
• working with you, your loved ones or core supports to understand your lived experience of disability

The assessment may also include standardised tests — covering cognition, mood, movement, sensory processing or activities of daily living — to build a fuller picture.

Based on the findings, the OT prepares a comprehensive report that outlines:

• your current functional status across NDIS-supported domains
• a plan of therapeutic support, capacity building and core supports to help you achieve your goals

This report is typically used by you, your support coordinator, and the NDIS delegate or planner to make informed decisions about the most effective and tailored supports.

A thorough initial Occupational Therapy assessment helps narrow down the most suitable assistive technology to trial.

An Occupational Therapist can recommend simple, non-structural changes that bring real functional improvements to daily life.

From homes and workplaces to community and aged care settings, we work with you and your team to help you achieve your personal care goals.

Coordinating care, managing cases, offering transition services such as discharge planning, advocating for clients, and making referrals to relevant services.

From cooking and gaming to work, volunteering and writing personal memoirs, we have supported people with all kinds of daily living goals. We tailor rehabilitation programs to match exactly what you want to achieve.
