Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help children and adults build the practical skills that daily life asks of them — at home, at school and in the community.
What occupational therapy can help with
We look at how a person does the everyday activities that matter to them, and what is getting in the way. Common areas of work include:
- Fine motor skills, pencil grip and handwriting
- Getting dressed, eating and other self-care routines
- Sensory processing and regulation
- Play, attention and following routines
- School readiness and classroom participation
- Functional capacity, home modification and assistive technology assessments
How we work
We start from the goals you name, watch the activity in context, and build a plan that fits your week. Sessions use movement, play and real tasks rather than worksheets, and we show parents, carers and educators how to keep the practice going between visits.
Assessments and reports
Alongside ongoing therapy we complete formal assessments — functional capacity, home modification, assistive technology and Home Care Package assessments — with reports written for NDIS plan reviews and funding requests.
Common Questions
Still not sure? Call the clinic on 0493 719 759 and we'll talk it through.
What is the difference between OT and physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy focuses on movement and physical function. Occupational therapy focuses on doing everyday activities — self-care, school tasks, play and work — and adapting the task or environment where needed.
Can OT and speech therapy run together?
Yes. Our speech pathologists and occupational therapists work under one roof and plan jointly when a client sees both.
Do you do NDIS functional capacity assessments?
Yes — see our functional capacity assessment page for what is involved and how to book one.
