Our Occupational therapists work closely with clients to maximise their independence in their day-to-day life and are trained to assist their clients in overcoming limitations caused by injury or illness, psychological or emotional difficulties, developmental delay, or the effects of aging. Our services are individually tailored as we believe that each person is unique and has a different set of circumstances. This enables our clients to prioritise what is meaningful to them so they can best achieve their goals.

Your goals can be as simple as planning a grocery list, or as significant as living independently. We are here to support you in all aspects of day-to-day life including self-care, leisure, education, home management, and work.

Depending on your goals and your unique situation, your Occupational Therapist will work with you on a range of therapy initiatives that will support you to do things more easily and safely.

These could include:

• Prescribing assistive devices to help you do the activities you want and need. We will make sure you can use the device in the best way to meet your needs.

• Recommending changes to your environment, such as your home or workplace to allow you to increase the activities you can do independently or make it easier for people to assist you.

• Developing a profile of your abilities and areas where you need assistance to put together a “support plan” for the people who assist you.

• Devising a program to improve a specific ability or skill including being more independent, like using public transport or managing your own behaviour so you can better interact with others.

• Working alongside other professionals including Speech Pathologists and Physiotherapists to provide support that meets your needs or those of a family member.
