About the Profession
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy is a healthcare profession focused on helping people function more safely and independently in everyday life. It supports individuals to manage daily activities, maintain participation in meaningful routines, and reduce barriers that affect comfort, confidence, and wellbeing.
Our occupational therapists assess the person, their goals, and their environment to provide practical, tailored solutions. This may include strategies, equipment, environmental recommendations, and support to improve daily living at home and in the community.
Conditions We Treat
What conditions do Occupational Therapists help with?
Our occupational therapists support older adults to stay safe, independent, and confident at home for longer through the Support at Home program. As part of the program's clinical care supports, Occupational Therapy helps people manage everyday activities more safely, adapt to changing needs, and maintain function through a wellness and reablement approach.
Support is tailored to each person's goals, needs, and home environment. This may include practical strategies for daily living, assessment of home safety risks, recommendations for assistive technology, and guidance on home modifications to improve access, reduce falls risk, and support independence. Occupational Therapy can also assist people to regain confidence and function after illness, surgery, or hospitalisation, so they can continue living well at home.
Occupational Therapy through Support at Home may assist with:
- Everyday living tasks such as showering, dressing, toileting, and meal preparation
- Home safety and falls prevention
- Reablement following illness, surgery, or hospitalisation
- Assistive technology and equipment recommendations
- Home modification assessment and guidance
- Fatigue management and energy conservation
- Cognitive changes affecting daily routines and safety
- Maintaining independence and confidence at home
- Support for carers and families to assist with safer daily living
Access & Funding
How do I get Occupational Therapy?
There are a number of ways to access Occupational Therapy, depending on your needs, eligibility, and funding pathway. Some clients access services through approved funding programs, while others choose to book privately. If you are unsure which option is right for you, our team can help guide you.
NDIS
If you are self-managed or plan-managed, you may be able to access Occupational Therapy through your NDIS funding, depending on your plan and goals. We can work with you, your family, and support team to provide therapy, assessments, equipment recommendations, and functional support aligned with your needs.
Home Care Package
Older adults may be able to access Occupational Therapy through My Aged Care and the Support at Home program after assessment and approval. If you already have Support at Home funding in place, you can ask your home care provider to arrange Occupational Therapy with our team.
Medicare
Some clients may be able to access Occupational Therapy with a referral from their GP under a chronic condition management plan. As Medicare rebates for allied health are limited, community-based appointments may include a gap payment in addition to the rebate.
Private Health
You can book Occupational Therapy with us directly, with no GP referral required in most cases. Depending on your policy, you may also be eligible to claim a rebate through your private health insurer.
Other Funding
Occupational Therapy is also available through DVA, WorkCover, TAC, and other approved funding pathways, subject to confirmation from our team.

Could not come more highly recommended. Such an excellent service that is sorely needed on Phillip Island and the surrounding areas.

I live a very long way off, finding Lew for physiotherapy advise is a total godsend! A very thorough on line consultation, resulting in me now understanding my condition.
