Your Questions Answered
Understanding Occupational Therapy shouldn’t be complicated, here are the answers to the questions we get asked most often.
Can I access support if I live in a rural or remote area?
Yes, absolutely. We specialise in National Telehealth, allowing us to bring experienced Occupational Therapists directly into your home via video. This ensures you get high-quality support and assessments without the long travel or local waitlists.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)?
An FCA is a comprehensive report that details your current ability to manage daily tasks. It provides the essential evidence needed for your NDIS plan reviews to ensure you receive the right level of funding and support for your needs.
Is online Occupational Therapy actually effective?
Yes, it is highly effective. We use a coaching model to guide you, your family, or your support workers through exercises in your own environment. This often helps build practical skills faster than a clinical setting because you are learning in your real-world space.
Do you work with children as well as adults?
Yes, we work across the entire lifespan. From helping children develop fine motor skills for school to supporting adults with independent living skills and home modifications, our team is experienced in adapting therapy to every age group.
