Common areas include handwriting and fine-motor skills, sensory sensitivities, daily routines (dressing, eating, sleep), coordination, and self-regulation.

Do we need a referral?

Not to see an OT privately. A GP referral and care plan are required only to access Medicare rebates or certain funded pathways.

Yes, typically under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living when it aligns with your child's plan goals.

How is OT different from physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on gross-motor movement and physical function; OT focuses on participation in everyday tasks, including fine-motor, sensory, and self-care skills.

Our approach

OT GO uses a play-based, evidence-based approach because children learn best when therapy feels like play rather than work. Sessions are individually tailored around what each child needs, with a focus on practical strategies that extend beyond the therapy room into the classroom and home. The practice works closely with teachers and parents to ensure strategies carry through into everyday settings. Sessions help children develop everyday skills that support learning, play, friendships and confidence, with a goal for every child to feel more capable, more settled and more like themselves.

Working with families

OT GO works collaboratively with parents from the start, beginning with an initial conversation to discuss your concerns and objectives. The practice regularly communicates and liaisons with parents, teachers and other health professionals to model strategies and extend the benefits of therapy beyond sessions. Practical strategies are designed to carry into the home and classroom, and parents are involved in developing and implementing the individually tailored therapy program. The approach recognises that parents are navigating their child's development and wellbeing with patience, empathy and respect for their journey.

Your first visit

The initial process begins with a phone conversation and meeting with parents to discuss your concerns and objectives for your child. If required, assessments will be conducted to determine your child's strengths and barriers with appropriate recommendations. The practice then works with you and your child's school to schedule therapy sessions that fit with the class timetable. Regular weekly or fortnightly sessions follow, with ongoing collaboration and liaison between the therapist, parents, teachers and other health professionals to support your child's progress.
