Services

What we can help with

These are starting points, not fixed programs. Every plan is built around the person in front of us. If you’re not sure where you fit, get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Children and young people

For babies, children and teenagers who find some everyday activities harder than others their age. We work closely with families, and with childcare, kinder and school staff when that helps.

This can include

  • Play, movement and coordination
  • Handwriting, cutting and other hand skills
  • Dressing, eating, toileting and other self-care
  • Routines, transitions and getting ready for school

Adults

For adults finding daily tasks harder after an injury, illness or surgery, because of a disability or long-term condition, or as needs change over time.

This can include

  • Personal care and household tasks
  • Returning to work or study
  • Managing energy, fatigue and daily routines
  • Getting out and about in the community

Home and equipment

For anyone who wants to stay safe, comfortable and independent at home. We look at how you manage day to day and suggest changes that make tasks easier.

This can include

  • Home visits to see how you manage
  • Advice on equipment such as shower chairs and rails
  • Recommendations for home modifications
  • Help choosing and learning to use equipment

Families and carers

For the people who support someone day to day, whether that’s a child, a partner or a parent. Caring is easier with a plan and a few good strategies.

This can include

  • Practical strategies to use at home
  • Setting up routines and spaces that work
  • Safe ways to help with personal care
  • Information about other services and supports

Assessments and reports

Written assessments and reports for when you need them, for example to support a funding application or to share recommendations with a school or employer.

This can include

  • Functional assessments
  • Reports to support funding applications
  • Recommendations for schools and workplaces
  • Progress summaries for your GP or specialist

Where we see you

We’ll suggest the setting that makes most sense for your goals. Often that’s where the task actually happens.

In the clinic

A calm space with equipment for assessment and therapy.

At home

Useful for daily routines, equipment and home set-up.

At school or kinder

Working with teachers on what happens in the classroom.

By telehealth

Video sessions when travel is hard or for follow-up.

Fees and funding

We’ll give you a clear quote before your first appointment.

Fees depend on the type and length of appointment, and whether we see you at the clinic or elsewhere. Ask us when you call and we’ll explain what applies to you.

Some or all of the cost may be covered by

  • The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
  • A Medicare plan arranged through your GP
  • Private health insurance with extras cover
  • Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)
  • Workers’ compensation or transport accident schemes
