Skills that help your child take on the day.

Occupational Therapy focuses on practical, hands-on progress. We help build and strengthen the skills kids rely on to feel capable, confident, and ready for everyday life.

Daily independence

Occupational therapy builds everyday skills like dressing, eating and daily routines. We support children to feel more confident and independent at home, at school and in the community.

Sensory processing and regulation

Occupational therapy helps children regulate their emotions and manage the many sensory environments they encounter daily. We support regulation through busy environments, challenging transitions and everyday demands so children can stay calm, focused and ready to thrive.

Motor skills and coordination

Occupational therapy strengthens fine and gross motor skills for play, movement and daily tasks. We build hand strength, coordination and body control so children can participate confidently and keep up with peers.

School readiness and participation

Occupational therapy supports confidence and participation at school. We strengthen handwriting, attention, classroom routines and engagement to support learning and independence.

If your child is finding some parts of the day challenging

If your child is finding some parts of the day challenging

You’re not imagining it. Some things really are harder for some kids — and that’s okay. We’re here to help make those moments easier.

OT can support children who:

  • Struggle with motor tasks, balance, coordination, or handwriting
  • Find daily routines overwhelming or frustrating
  • Get easily overstimulated by sound, touch, movement, or change
  • Have trouble with play skills or keeping up with peers
  • Experience sensory overload or emotional dysregulation
  • Need early developmental support or are neurodiverse
  • Can’t quite do tasks “other kids their age” seem to manage

When choosing an NDIS Occupational Therapy provider, it’s important to consider their experience in working with individuals with disabilities. Additionally, you should assess their location and accessibility, the range of services they offer, and their ability to accommodate your specific needs.

The number of therapy sessions you can receive under the NDIS is determined by your individual NDIS plan. Your plan will specify the funding allocated for physiotherapy and occupational therapy as well as the frequency of sessions.

Yes! NDIS occupational therapy can be provided in various settings, including your home, school, or in a clinic. The choice of setting depends on the individual’s needs and goals, and can be discussed and planned with the therapist.

To initiate NDIS physiotherapy or paediatric occupational therapy, you will need to contact the NDIS and establish an NDIS plan. Once you have your plan in place, you can book an appointment with us to discuss your specific requirements before we start the process.

During your first visit, the therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition, discuss your goals, and create a personalised therapy support plan.
