Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with people to support their participation in everyday activities. This can range from self-care activities, domestic tasks, leisure and play, school or work and life skills such as accessing the community and social skills.
We work closely with individuals and their support network at home, school or in the community to identify their goals and put together a plan to help enhance their independence in activities that are important to them.
This can be done by modifying the environment, providing adaptive equipment as well as providing rehabilitation and/or retraining.

Functional Capacity Assessments
We apply our specialised knowledge to recommend suitable equipment that enhances independence and helps to make daily tasks easier. We work closely with the client to identify the most suitable option and provide clinical evidence to assist the participant in accessing funding.
Assistive technology can range from small aids to help with dressing to more complex and specialist technology such as powered wheelchairs.
Home Safety Assessments
If you are returning home from the hospital or have recently had changes to how you are managing living independently at home, a home safety assessment can help. This assessment can help to identify the areas that are presenting challenges and make recommendations to improve home safety, functionality and independence.
This may include recommending equipment, home modifications or providing education regarding different ways of performing a task.
Sensory Profiles
Difficulties with Sensory Integration can occur when messages from one or several sensory systems are not being processed effectively, resulting in a person being over or under-sensitive to particular sensations.
Sensory profile assessments evaluate an individual's sensory processing patterns in the context of everyday life, providing a unique way to determine how sensory processing may be contributing to or interfering with participation in everyday tasks.
School / PreSchool Based Assessments
Difficulties with school-based learning as well as preparation for school require support from an early age to establish the necessary building blocks for future success.
School / Preschool assessments evaluate a child's fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, and motor skills in order to support them with learning in the classroom environment and engagement in schooling.
Life Skill Assessments
Difficulties with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) are very common among individuals of all ages.
Life skill assessments assess areas such as toileting, dressing, hygiene/grooming, feeding, sleep, housework, money management, shopping, meal preparation, personal safety, travelling, and organisational tasks, helping to identify which areas require further support through therapy.
