Occupational therapist
Occupational therapists help you do the everyday things that matter to you – getting dressed, cooking, moving around your home, working or enjoying your hobbies – safely and as independently as possible.
How an occupational therapist can help
Depending on your needs and goals, occupational therapy can include:
- looking at how you manage daily tasks and suggesting easier ways to do them
- assessing your home and recommending changes that make it safer
- recommending equipment such as rails, shower chairs and mobility aids
- strategies for managing routines, energy and fatigue
- hand and upper-limb therapy
Support that fits your goals
Your occupational therapist begins with what you want to be able to do, then builds a plan around it. For NDIS participants, occupational therapy can be part of the therapeutic supports in your plan.
Part of one coordinated plan
Your occupational therapy sits within your coordinated care plan, alongside physiotherapy and any nursing or home care support, so everyone is working towards the same goals.
