Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists are dedicated to enhancing your quality of life with personalised, creative, and sometimes quirky approaches. From childhood through adulthood, our team is here to support you in achieving your goals, whatever they may be.
Supporting Your Daily Life
Our Occupational Therapists prioritise participants' daily activities (ADLs), ensuring safety and promoting enjoyment in leisure and recreation. Committed to creativity and personalised care, our team supports clients of all ages, helping them achieve diverse goals through a comprehensive range of services.
Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) Reports
Our client-centred and comprehensive reports demonstrate an individual's functional capacity in their day-to-day life. Our Occupational Therapists use a range of assessments to determine goals and functional capacity, ensuring participants have access to the right level of support and NDIS funding.
Home and Living Assessments
Participants may be eligible for home and living supports if they have complex housing and support needs. Our Occupational Therapists assess eligibility for these supports and provide recommendations tailored to each participant’s needs. Our comprehensive home and living reports offer robust evidence to complement and strengthen the application process.
Our home and living assessments can include:
- Independent Living Options (ILO).
- Supported Independent Living (SIL).
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
Assistive Technology (AT)
Our Occupational Therapists conduct thorough assistive technology assessments to understand the unique needs of our participants, aiming to enhance occupational engagement and independence. We recognise that each participant requires tailored assistive technology solutions, so our team ensures a comprehensive trial and prescription process to find the optimal solution. We maintain strong relationships with local assistive technology providers to streamline the prescription process.
At PHW, our team has extensive experience prescribing a range of assistive technologies, including:
- Low-cost and high-risk items such as shower chairs and four-wheeled walkers.
- Mid-cost items like electric lift recliner chairs, adjustable hi/lo beds and mattresses, and mobility scooters.
- High-cost items such as custom-scripted manual and power wheelchairs.
Home Modifications
Our team specialises in assessment and intervention for both minor and complex home modifications. We equip our Occupational Therapists to collaborate closely with participants to identify their specific home modification requirements, aiming to enhance home safety and promote independence in activities of daily living (ADLs).
Examples of home modifications that our team can assist with include:
- Grab rails.
- Ramps.
- Bathroom modifications.
- Kitchen modifications.
