NDIS Occupational Therapy Sydney

How we help

Daily Living Skills & Self-Care

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.

Home Modifications

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.

Assistive Technology & Equipment

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

Sensory & Motor Skills Development

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

Support for Education & Employment

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.

Community Access

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.

FAQs

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.
