FAQ

Occupational Therapy (OT) helps individuals overcome challenges in daily activities. It can enhance independence, manage health conditions, and provide solutions for a variety of physical and cognitive difficulties.

In many cases, a referral is not necessary. You can contact us directly to discuss your needs and schedule an assessment.

The assessment involves evaluating functional abilities, analysing the impact of medical conditions, and understanding client goals. We then provide personalised recommendations for improving safety and independence.

Assessments usually take 60-90 minutes, including a detailed discussion and observation of the individual's function. The amount of time will depend on the complexity of the individual's situation and the number of home modifications required.

We use this information to create a comprehensive report with recommendations.

Our OT’s work directly with service providers. Providing them with a clear and detailed report, obtaining quotes for equipment and home modifications. We organise equipment trials and give a report of items trialled and clinical reasoning for the preferred choice. This helps take away all guesswork for providers and gives them confidence that they are audit ready and meeting government requirements with their client’s equipment and safety needs. 

We send Home Modification Builders a scope of work to quote from. The scope gives requirements for the modifications based on clinical assessment and Australian Building Standards. 

Throughout the quoting, installation of modifications, and post modifications we are available to discuss requirements and change the scope that may be needed.  After the process it is wise for the service provider or client to request the OT review the requested modifications before the final payment is made to the builder. 

Providing the client is consenting, we are always happy for a family member or representative to attend the OT assessment.
