Functional Capacity Assessments
Our Functional Capacity Assessment is a personalised service conducted in your home environment to evaluate your current abilities and identify areas where additional support may be beneficial. Our occupational therapists combine interviews, observations of daily activities, and relevant medical information to assess mobility, self-care, daily activities, community access, home management, and vocational skills where applicable. Using a combination standardised measures and a naturalistic approach, we provide insights into your strengths and challenges. Based on these findings, we offer personalised recommendations such as tailored care plans, assistive technology suggestions, home modifications, community support services, and care requirements.
Assistive Technology
Our occupational therapists specialise in prescribing Assistive Technology (AT) to enhance independence and enable participation in daily activities. We collaborate closely with individuals to understand their specific goals and needs, ensuring personalised AT solutions. Our process includes identifying goals, exploring various technologies, and integrating the chosen AT seamlessly into daily routines. We offer expertise in a range of AT solutions, from basic aids to complex, customized equipment. For those navigating the NDIS, we provide consultation and support to secure necessary funding and equipment. Our goal is to empower our clients by providing effective AT solutions tailored to their unique needs and contexts.
Housing Assessments
Our goal is to empower you to live independently and confidently in your chosen environment. Whether it be your own home, Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Independent Living Options (ILO) or Community Living, our assessments cover all areas of your housing needs.
Education
We take pride in educating people living with a disability and their networks, about managing daily life to promote independence and improve quality of life. Our occupational therapists design personalised strategies considering each individual's needs to manage symptoms, maintain and improve functional capacity, and support emotional health. We aim to equip parents and support networks with the knowledge to provide effective assistance, ensuring everyone leads a fulfilling life, regardless of their disability.
