The NDIS can provide funding for your occupational therapy treatment based on eligibility, which is assessed through a report provided by your Occupational Therapist. This report considers your needs, your current environment, any challenges and your Occupational Therapist's recommendations.
Having operated since the NDIS began servicing the Sunshine Coast, our team is well-versed in the system, particularly in complex cases. We are also highly experienced in providing NDIS support for paediatrics, assistive technology, home modifications, psychosocial services and much more.
Having the right home and the right support around you makes a big difference to your independence and wellbeing. Our Occupational Therapists complete Home and Living assessments to understand how you live day to day, what support you need and what kind of home would suit you best, then provide clear evidence and recommendations for your NDIS plan.
When getting around your home becomes difficult or unsafe, the right modifications can make a real difference. Our Occupational Therapists assess how you use your home, recommend practical changes, from grab rails and ramps to full bathroom redesigns, and work with builders and your funding body to get them installed.
Children and teenagers do their best when they feel understood and supported. Our Occupational Therapists use a family-centred, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming approach to build skills in play, self-care, regulation, learning and independence, at home, at school and in the community.
We're here to help you build the everyday skills that matter most to you. That might be cooking a meal, managing money, getting to appointments on time or keeping your home the way you like it. Our Occupational Therapists work with you in your own home and community, practising real tasks step by step so you can do more for yourself and rely less on others.
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) gives a clear, detailed picture of how you manage everyday life. Your Occupational Therapist will work with you to understand your strengths, the challenges you're facing and the goals that matter to you, then make practical recommendations for the supports, equipment and strategies that will help.
Assistive technology (AT) isn't just about equipment. It's about finding the right tools to make everyday tasks safer and easier, so you can stay independent at home and in the community. Our Occupational Therapists assess your needs, arrange trials, prescribe the right equipment and help with funding applications, then provide training and follow-up so your AT works for you.
Living with a psychosocial disability can make everyday life feel harder, from keeping up with routines to work, relationships and getting out into the community. Our Occupational Therapists work alongside you, in your home and community, to build the skills, confidence and stability to live life on your own terms.
