Occupational therapy

An Occupational therapist (OT) is a very important allied health professional for you to have while on your NDIS journey. Your OT teaches you how to adopt new ways of doing things. This can be something as simple as finding the right way to safely get out of bed in the morning, or more complex things like finding your new electric wheelchair.

Your OT will also complete annual or bi-annual functional compacity reports to assist with your next NDIS review. We have well established OT’s as our allied health referral partners, and they are ready to assist you to achieve your goals.
