Support Tailored to Your Needs
Our Occupational Therapists provide a broad range of assessments and interventions based on your individual circumstances and goals.
Functional Capacity Assessments
Our therapists assess how your health condition or disability affects your ability to complete everyday activities, including personal care, household tasks and community participation. We identify functional barriers and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to support your independence and future needs.
Housing Assessments
We assess your individual housing needs and help identify suitable living arrangements based on your circumstances and support requirements. This may include recommendations relating to Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), Individualised Living Options (ILO) or mainstream housing.

Our Occupational Therapists assess your needs and recommend appropriate assistive technology, which may include mobility equipment, wheelchairs and seating, bathroom aids, bedroom equipment, kitchen aids and other daily living solutions.
