WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY:

Occupational therapy is a health profession that helps people of all ages and abilities participate in everyday activities, also known as "occupations,". It aims to improve health and well-being by enabling individuals to engage in meaningful activities like self-care, productivity and leisure. Occupational therapists work with clients to identify challenges, develop strategies, and implement techniques to overcome limitations and achieve their goals, ultimately promoting independence and quality of life.

We offer a range of services designed to support individuals in improving their daily functioning and overall well-being to live their best lives. Our occupational therapy services focuses on practical, hands-on strategies to help people thrive in their everyday environments and routines.

Fleurieu OT provides comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) which analyses your functional performance in areas of self care and general day to day activities in and around the home and in the community. Our assessments, conducted by our occupational therapist Sarah White, helps clients understand their abilities and access the right support through the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). Each NDIS functional capacity assessment is tailored to reflect your unique needs and goals, helping to ensure that your plan provides the support necessary to enhance your independence and quality of life.

In addition, we offer personalized Occupational Therapy (OT) for individuals. Our Occupational Therapist Sarah White works closely with clients to build everyday life skills—from self-care and daily living skills to work and leisure. Whether managing a disability, mental health condition, or developmental delay, our OT service is person-centered and goal-oriented. Through a holistic and empowering approach, we help clients overcome challenges, build confidence, and lead more independent, fulfilling lives.

Occupational Therapy Assistaint

Our company provides dedicated Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) support designed to help individuals build independence, confidence, and practical life skills in their everyday environments. Working under the guidance of qualified occupational therapists, our assistants help implement therapy plans that support participants in achieving meaningful goals at home, in the community, and in the workplace.

Our Occupational Therapy Assistants provide hands-on support with a wide range of activities, including developing daily living skills, improving routines, and assisting with therapeutic programs recommended by the occupational therapist. By reinforcing therapy strategies during regular sessions, OTAs help ensure participants receive consistent support that leads to real, lasting progress.

We believe therapy works best when it is practical, engaging, and tailored to the individual. Our assistants focus on building positive relationships and creating supportive environments where participants feel comfortable learning and practicing new skills. Whether adolescents or adults, our team works closely with families, therapists, and other support professionals to deliver coordinated and effective care.

Our goal is simple: to help every participant build the skills they need to participate more fully in daily life, increase independence, and achieve their personal goals.

By building genuine relationships and providing consistent support, our team helps individuals develop the skills and confidence needed to participate more fully in their homes and communities.

Our support workers assist with a wide range of everyday activities, including personal care, community access, transport to appointments, household tasks, and support with daily routines.
