NDIS occupational therapy built around your everyday life
Work towards the goals that matter to you with an NDIS registered occupational therapist who takes the time to understand your routines, strengths and preferences. Better Rehab provides practical NDIS occupational therapy at home, in the community, in clinic and via telehealth.
What would you like to do more independently?
Independence means something different to every participant. Your occupational therapist starts by listening to what is important to you. Together, you look at the activities you want or need to do, what is already working, and what may be making those activities harder.
Your support involve building skills, improving your environment, or exploring equipment that makes everyday life safer and more manageable.
The aim is to find practical approaches that support your choice, confidence, and participation, with recommendations grounded in your goals and daily life.
Support at every age and stage
Occupational therapy can support participation in play, learning, self-care, family routines and community life. Sessions may explore fine motor skills, dressing and toileting, mealtimes, sensory preferences, emotional regulation, classroom access or transitions between activities. We work with the child or young person and, where appropriate, the adults around them so strategies are realistic for the places where life happens.
Adult OT support may focus on living more independently, establishing routines, managing fatigue, accessing the community, using assistive technology, returning to driving or adapting after a change in function. Your goals may relate to home, work, study, parenting, relationships or recreation. The plan is shaped around what meaningful participation looks like for you.
Our NDIS occupational therapy services
Functional Capacity Assessments
In-depth evaluations, including SIL and SDA assessments, that help make sure your NDIS plan reflects the support you actually need. We also assist with transition planning as your living arrangements change.
Assistive Technology
From everyday aids like adapted cutlery through to power wheelchairs, we assess your home environment first to make sure any equipment recommended genuinely fits your space and routine.
Capacity building
Building skills for both adults and children to manage emotional regulation, sensory processing, and everyday tasks with greater confidence and less reliance on ongoing support.
Home Modifications
Assessments that look at how your home supports (or gets in the way of) your independence, with practical solutions like grab rails, ramps and lifts to keep things safe and workable.
Neurological conditions
Support for participants managing stroke, brain injury, MS, Parkinson’s and other neurological or progressive conditions, focused on daily function.
Driving Assessments and vehicle modifications
Off-road and on-road assessments, driver rehabilitation, and vehicle modification recommendations, all aimed at getting you back behind the wheel safely and with confidence.
Wherever you're starting from, our OTs support NDIS participants achieve their goals. Get in touch to find out how.
Who we work with
Under the NDIS, we help participants build independence and work toward the goals in their plan, whether that means managing daily tasks more independently, accessing the right equipment, or building skills through Capacity Building supports.
We work with both plan-managed and self-managed participants, and can coordinate directly with Support Coordinators where needed. We also support private clients and aged care participants, including those receiving Support at Home. Our NDIS occupational therapy services are available at home, in clinic, in the community or by telehealth, whatever suits you best.
