Comprehensive, evidence-based Occupational Therapy and Behaviour Support assessments providing clear, objective reports for legal professionals, insurers and complex matters.
Independent Expertise for Complex Matters
At BePositive Therapy, we provide comprehensive Medico-Legal Occupational Therapy and Behaviour Support assessments for individuals of all ages. Our experienced clinicians combine extensive clinical knowledge with thorough assessment and clear reporting to support legal, insurance and other complex matters.
We have experience working with legal firms throughout Australia and understand the importance of providing objective, clinically sound and well-supported recommendations. Every assessment is tailored to the individual’s circumstances and the specific requirements of the referral.
Understanding Function and Future Support Needs
Our experienced Occupational Therapists provide detailed assessments of how an individual’s injury, disability or health condition affects their ability to function independently in everyday life.
Assessments may consider self-care, domestic activities, mobility, community participation, housing, assistive technology, support requirements and other areas relevant to the matter. Findings are presented through clear, evidence-based reports with practical recommendations.
Understanding Behaviour, Risk and Support Requirements
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners provide comprehensive assessments for individuals presenting with behavioural concerns or complex support needs. We consider the individual, their environment and other factors that may influence behaviour.
Assessments can identify behavioural risks, support requirements and appropriate strategies, providing legal professionals and other referrers with clear clinical information relevant to the individual’s circumstances.

Behavioural Risk Assessments
