How to find an NDIS occupational therapist
Occupational therapists (OTs) help you build the skills and use the equipment you need for daily life — at home, school, work and in the community.
What occupational therapists do

- Prescribe equipment (wheelchairs, hoists, communication devices)
- Recommend home modifications
- Support sensory and behaviour goals
- Help with school readiness, work and routines
