Our Services

Assistive technology is a fancy term to describe equipment that might help you in your everyday life.   We can prescribe and request funding for larger items such as beds, wheelchairs, pressure care mattresses, mobility scooters, hoists and other lifting equipment.  We can also recommend and help you to source smaller items that might help support you with cooking, cleaning, dressing or other troublesome tasks.

Sometimes the physical environment, the social environment, and the supports available in your accommodation don't meet your needs, or maximise your potential.  A living options assessment gives you all of what a functional assessment does, and analyses options available for living arrangements that may suit.  This assessment may be particularly appropriate where a person is considering whether arrangements such as Supported Independent Living (SIL), Individualised Living Options (ILO) or Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA) may be right for them and want to explore this further.

Being able to travel is an essential part of everyday life, and for many being able to travel in their own vehicle is a key part of having independence, autonomy and freedom. Our occupational therapists can assist you with trialling and prescribing vehicle modifications suitable for your needs if you are a passenger in the vehicle, needing a way to get in and out. 

Please note that we do not prescribe driver controls at this point in time. 

Utilising a therapy assistant is an excellent way to get the most out of your therapy budget. Our therapy assistants are university students who have completed a significant portion of their OT degree and placements already. A therapy assistant works under the guidance of a qualified occupational therapist, carrying out the therapist's plan with the person and checking in with the therapist regularly.
