NDIS

Our OT’s are very experienced in working with NDIS and can help you understand NDIS language

and your plan, so you are able to make best use of it to work towards your goals. We are also very experienced at understanding the assessments and reports that assist NDIA to establish your needs and to build your plans.

We are very familiar with the challenges of managing your care needs within the allocated funding

and will work with you to do this as well as possible, or where funding is inadequate, to provide reports

to support review of your funding.

Other NDIA specific work includes comprehensive SDA and SIL assessments, assistive technology

assessments, vehicle modification assessments, minor home modifications (and connections to

refer out for complex home modifications).

TAC

Our OT's are registered with the new TAC OT Access Registry to provide the services permitted under the TAC Clinical Framework, to promote recovery, functional independence or self-management.

We see TAC funded clients, with no waitlist delay, at the request of your Claims decision maker, using the TAC specified report templates.

Our OT's are experienced clinicians with many years experience supporting people living in the community.

We have the depth of experience to assist people with often complex needs.

Other Funding Sources

Whatever your funding is, please contact us to discuss your needs. We are able to work with most funders including DVA, Workcover, Private Health Insurance and private funding
