NDIS Occupational Therapy Sydney

At Zenzability, we provide NDIS occupational therapy services across Sydney, supporting both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Our experienced occupational therapists help children, teens, and adults build independence, confidence, and essential everyday skills.

Occupational therapy tailored to your goals

At Zenzability, we believe everyone deserves the chance to live with confidence, independence, and purpose. As a trusted provider of NDIS occupational therapy in Sydney, we’re here to help you build the skills you need to take part in everyday life on your terms.

Our occupational therapy services are tailored to your goals. We work with NDIS participants to understand what matters most—at home, at school, or in the community. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or someone you care for, we take time to listen, plan carefully, and deliver therapy that fits.

Support might include learning personal care tasks, improving coordination, building routines, or finding better ways to manage the day. We also provide help with assistive technology, home modifications, and strategies to improve communication, mobility, or emotional regulation.

We deliver therapy where it makes sense—in your home, at school, at work, or in the community. We also work closely with families and carers, so everyone feels supported and informed throughout the process.

Occupational therapy can be funded under your NDIS plan through categories like “Improved Daily Living” or “Improved Health and Wellbeing.” We support both self-managed and plan-managed participants and make it easy to get started, from the first appointment to ongoing sessions.

Zenzability is here for the long term. We build real partnerships with the people we support, helping you gain confidence, reach goals, and live more independently.

Areas where NDIS occupational therapy can help

We work with you to build independence in essential everyday activities—such as dressing, showering, cooking, and personal hygiene—so you can manage your daily routines with greater confidence and less reliance on others.

Our OTs assess your home environment and recommend practical changes, like grab rails, ramps, or accessible bathrooms, to make your living space safer and more functional for your needs.

We identify, recommend, and train you in the use of assistive technology—from adaptive cutlery and mobility aids to communication devices and power wheelchairs—helping you participate more fully in life.

Comprehensive assessments are completed to document current abilities and support needs. Reports are often used as supporting evidence when applying for NDIS funding or requesting plan reviews, helping to justify the level and type of support required.

We deliver targeted therapy to improve fine and gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and sensory processing, supporting individuals with sensory or neurological needs.

Support includes guidance for using public transport, shopping, or joining social and recreational activities, with the aim of building connection and independence outside the home.
We help develop skills for school or work, including organisational strategies, adapting learning or workplace environments, and creating routines that support success in education or employment.

Frequently asked questions

We work on the physical, cognitive, and sensory skills that make daily tasks easier to manage. That includes how someone moves, how they respond to their surroundings, and how they follow through on a task from start to finish. We look at what’s getting in the way—whether it’s balance, grip, sequencing, attention, or regulation—and build practical strategies that make the activity possible. Support may include dressing, toileting, mealtime routines, handwriting, using two hands together, following instructions, or coping with noisy or unpredictable environments. We don’t work from a list. We build therapy around the specific things the person is struggling to do on their own. We also provide clear recommendations, assistive technology advice, and reports required for plan reassessments or capacity-building goals. Every part of the service is tied to daily life—what the person does, where they struggle, and what needs to change to make the task easier.
Anyone with an approved NDIS plan that includes funding for occupational therapy can access OT services. OTs work with children, adults, and seniors with a wide range of physical, cognitive, psychosocial, or sensory disabilities.
OTs help with a broad range of goals, such as improving self-care skills (like dressing and showering), increasing independence at home, enhancing mobility, building social and communication skills, managing sensory sensitivities, and supporting participation in education or employment.
Occupational therapists assess how someone moves through their home and identify barriers to safety, access, or independence. Recommendations may include grab rails near toilets or showers, ramps for easier entry, wider doorways for mobility equipment, or changes to bench heights and layouts. Adjustments are based on how the person uses the space and what needs to change to make daily tasks safer and less reliant on support.
OTs offer sensory integration therapy and practical strategies to help manage sensory sensitivities, such as using sensory-friendly tools, developing coping techniques, and creating structured routines to support focus and comfort in daily life.
A functional capacity assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your abilities and support needs. It helps determine what supports or funding you require under the NDIS and is often used to inform plan reviews or access requests.
OTs assist with organisational skills, adapting learning or work environments, building routines, and developing the practical skills needed for success in education or employment settings.

Occupational therapy can be funded through three NDIS support categories, depending on what’s needed. Capacity Building covers therapy sessions, assessments, and strategies that improve how a person manages daily tasks. Core Supports fund assistance with everyday activities when hands-on help is required—such as dressing, showering, or moving around safely. Capital Supports apply when equipment or home modifications are needed, including grab rails, ramps, or assistive technology recommended by an occupational therapist. Each category serves a different purpose, and the type of funding used depends on the service being delivered.
