NDIS Participant Referral Form
Whilst we have re-opened our books to new NDIS participants, unfortunately we are not accepting referrals with a primary diagnosis of ASD or Psychosocial Disabilities. We feel these clients are best supported by agencies who have the specialty skills required for assisting people with these diagnoses. We feel it's essential that not only the participant feels we are a good fit for them but also that we feel we are the right OTs for them, given the long-standing nature of engaging with a NDIS Participant therefore prior to accepting referrals, we require the NDIS Participant Referral Form be completed.

What to expect at the first session...

In order to optimally assist you, your client or loved one, the Occupational Therapist (OT) needs to get to know the individual and get a background of the task/s that they require assistance with. This involves getting information about the persons social situation (who do they live with, who helps), medical history, physical ability, how day to day tasks are being done currently as well as look at their environment. Even though you might feel there is only one task that you require assistance in, a brief discussion about most fascets of life is completed/recommended as there may be challenges that you didn't realise until brought up. A plan is developed based on what is important to them and what they want to achieve out of Occupational Therapy.

The initial assessment generally takes an hour. If follow-up appointments are required, these may be arranged at this initial appointment or when required.
