Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy improves development and function, helps to prevent injury, and promotes safety for individuals suffering disability, injury, or disease. Occupational Therapists also help with acquired and developmental problems in children.

Therapists provide assessment and treatment, home and group programs, home modifications and equipment prescription. They have a interest in Health Promotion and Injury prevention. Paediatric therapists can provide assistance and education to families, schools, and pre-schools to support children. Occupational Therapists can also be found working in Rehabilitation Programs, Aged Care and Assessment Teams and with people with mental health problems.

If you have an issue, which effects your day to day functioning in personal care, domestic activity, leisure, or work, you may well benefit from contacting your local Occupational Therapist. Therapists are located in Hospitals, Community Health Centres, Living Skills centres, Early Childhood Intervention centres, and Rehabilitation centres.
