Supporting What Matters Most

Occupational Therapy That Comes to You

We bring therapy into the spaces where life happens: your home, workplace, or local community. By working in real-world environments, we address everyday challenges in a way that’s practical, meaningful, and empowering.

Holistic Support for the Whole You

Your wellbeing is more than a diagnosis. Our occupational therapists take the time to understand your physical, emotional, and social needs, designing therapy that supports your whole self, not just one part of it.

Focused on What Truly Matters

We’re here to help you achieve progress that’s real and measurable. Through ongoing support, we adjust your plan as your needs evolve, ensuring therapy continues to serve your goals and your life.

Fast, Responsive Service You Can Rely On

We respond within an hour and make onboarding simple. We also keep your support coordinator informed with regular updates after your initial consultation and every two months thereafter.

Consistent Care, One Trusted Contact

Tired of repeating your story? With us, you’ll work with one dedicated point of contact who gets to know you and coordinates everything, so your care feels seamless and personal from day one.

Care You Can Trust

We’re confident in the quality of our service, and we want you to be too. If you’re not fully satisfied after your first session, we offer a money-back guarantee. Because your health, comfort, and satisfaction come first.

NDIS Occupational Therapy That Supports You

No two journeys are the same. That’s why our NDIS services are tailored to your unique goals, challenges, and support needs, because meaningful outcomes start with personalised care.

As a registered NDIS provider, we meet the high standards set by the National Disability Insurance Agency. Our experienced team of occupational therapists deliver therapy that’s built around your lifestyle, whether you need help with daily tasks, home modifications, or assistive technology.

We specialise in:

  • Assistive technology prescription (mobility aids like wheelchairs, commodes, hospital beds)
  • Home modifications, adaptive equipment and accessibility planning
  • Pressure injury management
  • Daily living skills and personal care assessments
  • Cognitive therapy and occupational therapy assessments
  • Manual handling training and support

Helping You Access the NDIS OT Support You Deserve

Navigating the NDIS can be confusing, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We take the time to explain how occupational therapy fits into your plan, including the different funding categories and how to use your supports effectively. This empowers you to make informed decisions and maximise your plan.

Working with Your Support Coordinator

We collaborate closely with your Support Coordinator to ensure therapy aligns with your broader goals. With regular updates and open communication, we help create a coordinated and consistent support network around you.

A Smooth, Supportive Experience

From your first contact with us, we make things simple and stress-free. Our welcome pack and onboarding flowchart clearly explain what to expect, your rights, available services, and how we’ll support you throughout your NDIS journey.

Flexible Care Delivered With Compassion

With mobile and telehealth options, we offer care that’s as flexible as it is effective. Whether at home, work, or a local facility, we make therapy accessible and convenient. Our large team of skilled therapists means we can work around your schedule with ease.

Clear Reports for NDIS Reassessments

Documentation matters. That’s why we provide detailed, easy-to-understand reports that support funding requests and plan reviews. Whether it’s recommending ongoing therapy, assistive tech, or home modifications, our reports strengthen your case for the support you need.

Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs)

At Health Journey Partner, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all assessments. Our Functional Capacity Assessments are designed to capture the full picture of how you live day-to-day and where the right support can make a difference.

Each FCA is conducted by a single, highly qualified therapist, either an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or psychologist (for psychosocial disabilities), carefully matched to your needs. By pairing you with the right professional, we ensure every assessment is accurate, meaningful, and truly reflective of your individual circumstances.

Since 2020, we’ve delivered thousands of FCA reports that have helped participants secure sustainable, life-changing NDIS funding. Our reports are clear, evidence-based, and written with precision, giving you confidence and providing the NDIA with everything they need to make informed decisions.

Take the First Step Toward Greater Independence & Wellbeing Today

Who Can Benefit from Occupational Therapy?

You may benefit from occupational therapy if you experience:

  • Poor mobility and recurring falls
  • Difficulty with self-care and household tasks
  • Inability to participate in hobbies such as bowling, knitting, drawing, painting, dancing or gardening
  • Challenges fulfilling work requirements
  • Difficulty shopping or managing daily tasks
  • Loss of confidence in going out into the community, making social outings difficult
  • High risk of developing pressure sores due to inactivity
  • Difficulty developing or following a routine
  • Poor problem-solving and budgeting skills or impaired memory

Our Approach to NDIS Occupational Therapy

Our approach is built on respect, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping you live with greater independence, confidence, and wellbeing. Here’s how we deliver NDIS occupational therapy that truly makes a difference:

Strength-Based Therapy

We believe in focusing on your strengths and abilities, not just your challenges. Our strength-based approach recognises your existing skills and builds upon them to develop new capabilities and confidence.

This positive approach helps create momentum in your therapy journey and celebrates your progress, no matter how small. By acknowledging your achievements, we help build your self-efficacy and motivation to tackle new challenges.

Neuro-Affirming Practice

Our occupational therapists understand and respect neurodiversity. We practice neuro-affirming therapy that acknowledges different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world.

Rather than trying to change who you are, we adapt our approaches to work with your unique neurological profile. This respectful approach ensures therapy is supportive and effective for all participants, including those with sensory processing disorders, autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Collaborative Goal Setting

Your therapy goals drive our process. We work collaboratively with you to identify meaningful goals that reflect what matters most to you in your daily life.

These goals form the foundation of your therapy plan and give direction to our interventions. Regular reviews ensure we stay on track and can adjust our approach as your needs and priorities evolve.

Evidence-Based Interventions

Our therapy approaches are grounded in current research and best practice. We use evidence-based interventions that have been shown to be effective for people with similar needs and goals.

This commitment to evidence-based practice ensures you receive high-quality therapy that makes the best use of your NDIS funding and delivers real results.

Telehealth & Virtual Occupational Therapy

Getting to appointments isn’t always easy. That’s why we offer telehealth occupational therapy, bringing the same high-quality care you expect, directly to you, wherever you are.

100% SECURE

Your privacy matters. Our telehealth platform is fully encrypted and secure, giving you peace of mind that your sessions are confidential and protected.

HIGH-QUALITY CARE

You’ll work with the same experienced, compassionate therapists who deliver our in-person services. Telehealth allows us to maintain that same personal connection while making therapy more accessible.

EASY, CONVENIENT & FLEXIBLE

Skip the travel time and avoid the stress. Whether you’re at home, work, or on the go, you can access your therapy sessions from anywhere, with just a click.

Changing Lives, One Journey at a Time

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that navigating the NDIS and our occupational therapy services can raise many questions. To help you better understand how we can support your journey, we've answered some of the most commonly asked questions.

What is NDIS occupational therapy and how can it help me?

NDIS occupational therapy helps participants develop skills for daily living and community participation. Our therapists work with you to overcome challenges in everyday activities, recommend assistive technology and home modifications, and develop strategies to increase your independence. The focus is on practical outcomes that improve your quality of life and help you achieve your personal goals.

How do I access NDIS funding for occupational therapy?

To access funding for occupational therapy, you need to have this support included in your NDIS plan. During your planning meeting, discuss your needs for occupational therapy with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator. If you already have an NDIS plan but don't have occupational therapy included, you can request a plan review. Our team can help guide you through this process and provide supporting documentation if needed.

We also offer private occupational therapy services with no referral required, so you can access support without delay.

Where do you provide NDIS occupational therapy services in Sydney?

We provide mobile occupational therapy services throughout Sydney, including the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Western Sydney, South Sydney, and Northern Beaches. Our therapists come to you, delivering therapy in your home and community environments where it's most relevant and effective for developing practical skills.

What happens during the first occupational therapy session?

Your first session typically involves a comprehensive assessment of your abilities, challenges, and goals. Our therapist will discuss what matters to you, observe how you manage everyday tasks, and assess your home environment if relevant. This information helps us develop a personalised therapy plan that addresses your specific needs and aligns with your NDIS goals. The session is relaxed and collaborative, focusing on understanding your unique situation.

How long does occupational therapy take to show results?

The timeframe for seeing results varies depending on your goals and individual circumstances. Some participants notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy to achieve their goals. We set realistic expectations and celebrate progress along the way. Regular reviews help us track your development and adjust our approach as needed to ensure you're making meaningful progress towards your goals.

Can occupational therapy help with assistive technology and home modifications?

Yes, our occupational therapists are skilled in assessing your needs for assistive technology and home modifications. We can recommend appropriate solutions, provide detailed reports for NDIS funding approval, and help you implement these supports effectively. From simple aids to complex modifications, we ensure recommendations are tailored to your specific requirements and will make a real difference in your daily life.
