FAQs

Common Questions

Your occupational therapist walks through your home with you, looking at how you manage everyday tasks — bathing, cooking, moving between rooms. They identify risks, recommend equipment or modifications, and write up any reports your funding requires.
Yes. Your OT can assess, recommend and prescribe equipment and home modifications, and provide the documentation your Support at Home provider, NDIS plan or private supplier needs to get them installed.
No referral is needed for private clients. If you're using Support at Home, a Home Care Package or an NDIS plan, we work with your existing goals and budget — just tell us how your care is funded when you enquire.
