Occupational Therapy FAQs

Answering your questions about occupational therapy

Everyone’s needs are different. We’ve tried to answer some common questions below, but if you have a specific question, please get in touch with our friendly team.

Occupational Therapy focuses on helping people stay safe and independent in their environment. Your home and community are unique to you. We can tailor our assessments and recommendations based on you, your home and your community with a focus on everyday living activities, as small as opening a jar of your favourite spread to promoting independence in gardening. This means interventions are more meaningful and sustainable because they are rooted in your lived experience.

Our qualified occupational therapists can help you with a wide range of services. If you don’t see what you need listed below, please talk to us.

  • Home assessments to help make your activities of daily living easier and safer.

  • Home adjustments to assist with post-operative care

  • Home adjustments for those undergoing palliative care

  • Adaptive equipment and home adjustments for people with disabilities

  • Skills development to improve independence and assist with activities of daily living

  • Assessment and training to assist with fall prevention

  • Home modifications to assist memory, promote independence and support dementia care

Private occupational therapy services can help to provide you with greater independence, dignity and comfort. As a result, choosing to receive occupational therapy support in your own home is becoming increasingly popular. While it can seem a challenge to organise an assessment, the increase in quality of life that comes with it can be very much worth the extra effort.

In addition, occupational therapy can minimise risks associated with falls or other health complications.

In addition to occupational therapy, we also provide a range of other services including support worker services.

Our support workers can help with a wide range of everyday services. If you don’t see what you need listed below, talk to us.

The costs associated with private occupational therapy will be different for everyone. Costs are based on the type of support, level of expertise needed, length of support, and any insurance or eligibility you may have for government support.

Rest assured, we’ll take you through all costs involved in detail during an initial, no obligation consultation, so you and your family can make an informed choice.
