Services

As an occupational therapist, I offer a range of services to support and empower you to achieve your goals. I specialise in working with NDIS participants, and offer neurodiversity-affirming occupational therapy services to empower young people and adults to build fulfilling, independent lives. 

Functional Capacity Assessments 

A functional capacity assessment is a type of evaluation that is used to assess your capacity to perform day-to-day tasks like mobility, self-care, communication, employment, and leisure activities. The goal of a functional capacity assessment is to identify your functional abilities and limitations in different areas, to ensure you have access to the right level of support to enhance your overall functioning and quality of life. 

I have immediate availability to carry out comprehensive functional capacity assessments. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of your strengths, challenges, and needs, and inform your NDIS plan and therapy goals.

Payment Options 

Therapy services are charged in line with the NDIS price guide at $193.99 per hour. Medicare rebates may also be available for private paying clients - speak to your GP about a referral. 

As an occupational therapist, I believe you should be empowered to choose your support. That’s why I work with both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. If you are self-managed, I will bill you directly. If you’re plan-managed, I will submit invoices to your plan manager. 

Therapeutic supports usually fall under the Improved Daily Living item within the Capacity Building category. I can help you navigate your plan for effective utilisation. 

Note: I currently do not accept NDIA-managed plans.
