NDIS Occupational Therapy

Across SE-Queensland

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages build the skills they need for everyday life, from fine motor and self-care skills through to independence at home, school, work and in the community

our NDIS occupational therapists take a practical, person-centred approach, working with you in the environments that matter most

Our Funding Partners

As occupational therapists, we know real progress happens in the places where life actually unfolds. Our therapists work alongside you in your home, school, workplace or community to build the skills, confidence and independence that make day-to-day life easier

When Occupational Therapy May Help

It isn’t always obvious when occupational therapy might help. If you’re noticing any of the following in yourself or someone you care for, an OT assessment may be a good place to start

For Children

Difficulty with fine motor tasks like handwriting, drawing or doing up buttons
Trouble keeping up with daily routines or self-care skills
Sensory sensitivities that affect everyday participation
Challenges with attention, organisation or coordination at school or at home
Delays in reaching developmental milestones

For Adults

Daily living tasks becoming harder to manage independently
Returning to work, study or routine after injury or a change in circumstances
Needing a safer, more accessible home environment
Considering equipment or assistive technology to support independence
Working towards specific goals around capacity and participation

Occupational Therapy Services

Whether it is a child developing the skills to thrive at school or an adult working towards greater independence, we tailor every session to your situation and goals with occupational therapy across a range of settings and stages of life. Explore the service that best fits your needs, or start a referral and we’ll match you with the right therapist

Paediatric OT

Every child is unique, and therapy should be too. Our paediatric occupational therapists use a family-centred approach to help children build the skills they need to take part in everyday life, from self-care and fine motor skills through to focus and coordination. We can work with your child at home, in kindergarten or at school, and we collaborate with parents and carers so progress continues between sessions

Adolescent & Adult OT

We take a holistic approach with participants of all ages and abilities. Our therapists are experienced across a wide range of needs and will match you with the right person for your situation. Whether you’re working towards greater independence at home, returning to work or study, or building capacity in your community, we work alongside you using an evidence-based, person-centred approach

Telehealth OT

Telehealth makes occupational therapy more convenient and accessible. You can connect with your therapist from home through secure video sessions, which is ideal if you have a busy schedule, live in a regional area, or simply prefer the comfort of home. Sessions stay engaging and focused on your goals, with the same personalised support as in-person therapy

Community OT

Our mobile therapists can visit you at home, school or in your workplace for both assessments and therapy sessions. Working in your everyday environment gives us a clear understanding of the tasks and routines that matter to you, so support stays practical and grounded in real life

Assitive Technology

The right piece of equipment can make a real difference to your safety, capacity and independence, but choosing it can feel daunting. Our therapists support you at every step, from trial and selection through to education and set-up, so you feel confident using it day to day

OT for Stroke & Neurological Conditions

Stroke, brain injury and other neurological conditions can change how you manage everyday tasks, sometimes overnight. Our occupational therapists work with you to rebuild routines, regain skills and adapt where needed, so daily life feels manageable again.

How Occupational Therapy Works

From your first referral through to review, occupational therapy can support people to:

Build greater independence in everyday tasks
Develop fine motor, coordination and self-care skills
Strengthen focus, problem-solving and organisation
Participate more fully at school, work and in the community
Develop practical strategies for physical and emotional wellbeing

Here’s what working with our occupational therapy team looks like…

Frequently Asked Questions

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages build the skills they need to take part in everyday activities, or “occupations”. This can include self-care, play, learning, work and community participation. An OT works with you to make daily tasks easier and to support your independence

How does NDIS funding work for OT?

Occupational therapy is commonly funded under NDIS plans, often within Capacity Building supports. The exact funding depends on your plan and goals, and your support coordinator or planner can help confirm what’s available to you

What does an occupational therapist do?

An occupational therapist assesses how you manage everyday tasks and works with you to build skills, adapt activities or introduce equipment that makes participation easier. Support is always tailored to your individual goals and environment

Do you offer occupational therapy for both children and adults?

Yes. We support participants of all ages, from young children through to adults, and match you with a therapist experienced in your area of need.

Can I use existing NDIS funding for a Behaviour Support Assessment?

In many cases, yes. An initial assessment can often be completed using up to 10 hours of your available Capacity Building funding, billed at the standard NDIS rate, even without a dedicated Behaviour Support line item. The resulting report can then support plan reviews and funding conversations with your planner or LAC.
