For Toni, Occupational Therapy isn’t just a career—it’s a calling grounded in purpose. With over four years of experience and three and a half of those at Forbes Care, she has dedicated her work to improving how people live, move, and thrive in their own homes.

“I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives,” Toni shares. “Occupational Therapy offered the ideal opportunity to do that.”

Today, Toni specialises in complex home modifications, neurological conditions, and assistive technology prescription. Her passion lies in helping people feel safe, supported, and truly at ease in their own environment.

Enhancing Lives Through Functional Spaces

For Toni, the home is more than just a place to live—it’s where empowerment starts.

“I believe everyone deserves to feel secure and comfortable in their own home. When we get the environment right, it transforms how someone engages in daily life.”

She brings a meticulous approach to every assessment, regularly drawing on tools like the Australian Standards for Access and Mobility (AS 1428.1) to guide her work. Her tape measure is never far away, and neither is her commitment to long-term, practical solutions.

Client-Centred From the First Conversation

Toni’s work is guided by a person-centred philosophy.

“I take the time to really understand each person’s values, goals, and motivations. Building trust is everything—it creates the foundation for more meaningful outcomes.”

Whether she’s recommending a major home modification or supporting someone with neurological challenges, Toni ensures each recommendation is tailored, achievable, and truly makes a difference.

Collaboration at the Core

What does Toni enjoy most about working at Forbes Care? The team.

“The collaborative culture here is second to none. Everyone brings their own clinical strengths, and we all support each other. It’s made me a better clinician and has led to better outcomes for our clients.”

Her supervisors agree, noting that Toni not only brings deep knowledge and confidence to her work, but uplifts those around her with professionalism and warmth.

A Clinical Leader in Growth

In a recent caseload review, Toni showcased how far she’s come. Her ability to manage a complex caseload, make autonomous decisions, and identify when to collaborate demonstrated not only her skill, but her maturity as a clinician. Her reflective approach and drive for continual learning are markers of both her professionalism and her heart.

Empowering Safer, More Independent Lives

Whether she’s measuring up for a ramp, assessing mobility needs, or mapping out a long-term therapy plan, Toni brings clarity, confidence, and compassion to each interaction. At Forbes Care, we’re proud to have her helping individuals across the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay live more freely and safely—one thoughtful modification at a time.
