Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy can help you build the skills and confidence to participate more independently in everyday life.

Our occupational therapists work alongside you in the places where everyday activities happen, including at home, at school or in your community.

Support may focus on self-care, fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, attention or completing everyday activities.

Working in familiar environments can help you practise new skills and use strategies confidently in real-life situations.

We can also work with your family, school, carers and broader support team so the people around you understand the recommended strategies and how to use them consistently.

The support you receive will depend on your individual needs, goals and NDIS plan.
