Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions matter! We’ve answered some of the most common questions below. Don’t see what you need? Get in touch!

Have A Question?

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy helps you do the everyday activities that matter most—like getting dressed, cooking, moving safely around your home, working, or participating in hobbies. Your occupational therapist identifies what’s getting in the way and creates practical strategies to support your independence, safety, and confidence.

What does a private occupational therapist do during an in-home visit?

During your first visit, your occupational therapist will talk through your goals, observe how you manage daily activities, and complete a functional assessment of your home and yourself. From there, you’ll receive a personalised plan which may include home modifications, assistive technology and equipment prescription, falls prevention strategies, or support with daily living skills. Being seen at home means everything is tailored to your real environment and routine.

How does occupational therapy work?

Occupational therapy is goal-focused and practical. We work with you to understand your challenges, set meaningful goals, and build a step-by-step plan to improve daily function. This may involve skill-building, equipment, environmental changes, or strategies to make everyday tasks easier and safer.

What is the difference between occupational therapy and physiotherapy?

Occupational therapy focuses on helping you manage everyday activities and improve independence in daily life. Physiotherapy focuses more on movement, strength, pain, and physical rehabilitation. Often, both work together as part of a broader recovery or support plan.

Do I need a referral to see a private occupational therapist?

No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to book an appointment and get started.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. If you’re outside our mobile service area or prefer online support, we offer secure telehealth occupational therapy sessions anywhere in Australia.

How quickly can I get a first appointment?

We aim to offer timely appointments with minimal waiting. Once you contact us, our team will match you with the right therapist and arrange your first session as soon as possible.

How often are sessions scheduled?

Session frequency depends on your goals and needs. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may need more or less frequent support. Your therapist will discuss this with you and adjust as your needs change.

Can I claim private occupational therapy through private health insurance?

In many cases, yes. Occupational therapy is often covered under extras cover, but this depends on your individual policy. We recommend checking with your insurer before your first appointment.

Can occupational therapy at home be funded through NDIS or the Support At Home program?

Yes. Our services can be accessed privately, through the NDIS, or via the Support At Home program, depending on your eligibility and plan.

How much does private occupational therapy cost?

Costs vary depending on the type of service, assessment, or intervention required. We provide clear information upfront so you understand fees before beginning therapy.

How quickly can I start at-home occupational therapy services in Sydney?

We aim to get you started as quickly as possible, often without long wait times. Once you reach out, we’ll guide you through the process and arrange your first appointment promptly.
