Occupational Therapists specialise in supporting individuals with disabilities, illnesses, or injuries by facilitating the development, recovery, maintenance, or enhancement of daily living skills through therapeutic interventions. Their primary objective is to promote health and well-being by enabling individuals to participate in everyday activities to the fullest extent possible.
Their interventions encompass various strategies, including adapting tasks through home modifications, integrating assistive technology, or implementing vehicle modifications. These adjustments aim to optimise ease and efficiency in performing daily tasks, ultimately empowering participants to achieve higher levels of independence.
The majority of NDIS participants receive some form of treatment, ranging from yearly assessments to determine current needs and support requirements for comfortable independence, to more frequent hands-on therapy and support. Occupational Therapy, in particular, is goal-oriented and equips individuals with valuable tools and strategies to enhance their day-to-day lives.
Our Occupational Therapists are expert allied health professionals dedicated to supporting individuals living with significant or permanent disabilities in leading independent and healthy lives. Beyond physical rehabilitation, they specialise in pain management and mental health support.
They offer comprehensive assistance tailored to address a spectrum of daily life challenges. This ranges from aiding in self-care tasks such as showering, dressing, and meal preparation, to facilitating participation in education, work, community, or social activities, depending on each participant’s unique needs.
