How NDIS Occupational Therapy Helps
Occupational therapy under the NDIS focuses on building skills and confidence so you can take part in the activities that matter most to you. Our OTs work closely with participants, carers and support teams to deliver tailored programs that support independence and daily function.
Through NDIS-funded therapy, you can:
- Build everyday skills such as self-care, cooking, managing routines and social activities.
- Improve mobility and coordination to move safely and confidently in your environment.
- Support positive behaviour with strategies that encourage participation and emotional regulation.
- Access adaptive equipment or home modifications that make your space safer and more accessible.
- Increase independence at home, at work or in the community.
Every plan is person-centred, evidence-based and designed around your goals, not a generic checklist.
What Our Occupational Therapists Do
Your Physio Inq Occupational Therapist will assess how your condition or environment affects your daily activities, then create a practical plan to help you live more independently.
Our process typically includes:
- Comprehensive assessment – understanding your goals, challenges and NDIS plan.
- Collaborative planning – setting meaningful outcomes that align with your NDIS funding categories.
- Therapy sessions – delivered in your home, community setting or via telehealth.
- Progress review – tracking achievements and updating reports for your NDIS plan reviews.
We also assist with:
- Functional capacity assessments for NDIS reporting
- Assistive technology recommendations
- Home modification assessments
- Sensory and behavioural support strategies
- Paediatric OT for children’s development and school readiness
