The Commonwealth Government provides support through these packages and programs, focusing on Health Care Providers working with people to improve their independence rather than doing things for them. As your Occupational Therapists, we can help you to:
1. Stay safe and independent in your home through home modifications, equipment and life-skill support
2. Delay or avoid higher-level care by minimising any age-related risks and challenges
3. Stay active in your social life and maintain a connection with your community
We complete comprehensive housing assessments to understand both your home environment and your support needs. This helps determine suitable housing solutions that align with your goals and independence.
We may recommend home modifications if you're experiencing difficulty moving around your home or have safety concerns. These custom changes improve accessibility and confidence in daily living.
Children and teenagers need a supportive, interactive environment to reach their goals. Our family-centred approach provides tailored activities that build skills in play, participation, self-care, and independence.
We’re here to help you strengthen the everyday skills that matter most. This may mean learning fatigue management strategies, building routines, improving confidence in communication, or developing practical skills like cooking, shopping, and managing the home. Our focus is always on real-life independence and participation.
A functional capacity assessment is designed to establish your baseline function. Your occupational therapist will work with you to establish your current strengths and your functional goals to make recommendations for challenges that you may be experiencing.
Assistive technology isn't just about equipment, it’s about finding the right tools, systems or modifications. Our Occupational Therapists complete thorough assessments, provide recommendations, and guide you through trials, prescriptions, and funding applications. We also provide training and follow-up to ensure your AT truly supports your goals.
We offer home-based Occupational Therapy to eligible Veterans with gold and white cards, enabling access to potentially life-changing allied health services.
For participants with psychosocial disability, we provide strategies for emotional regulation, daily routines, and community access. Our goal is to work alongside you to build confidence, stability, and independence in daily life.
