What OTFC+ helps with

Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Therapy

A broad range of structured, evidence-based talking therapies delivered by a registered psychologist or therapist to address mental health and emotional wellbeing. Psychotherapy explores thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour to bring about lasting positive change.

CampEVOLVE

An inclusive, action-packed camp where young people build skills and create lasting friendships while engaging in activities like flying foxes, canoeing, laser skirmish, and arts and crafts.

Groups

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Allied Health Assistants (AHA) & Support Workers

Supporting young people with daily activities and routines at home, accessing the community, and strategies to help them succeed in the classroom.

In-Community Therapy

Therapy or support delivered in the client's home or community setting rather than in a clinic. This approach allows therapists to work within the real environment where skills need to be applied, which can lead to more practical, lasting outcomes.

Parent Consults & Education

Online masterclasses and in-person events designed to empower parents to better support their young person.

Sensory Room Design

Expert consultation on sensory room design for residential and commercial spaces, creating tailored environments to support the needs of young people.

NDIS Support

Help navigating the NDIS — finding and connecting with the right service providers, understanding a plan, managing budgets and ensuring supports are working together effectively. A support coordinator acts as a guide and advocate to help participants get the most from their funding.

Professional Development

Structured support for practitioners to reflect on their clinical work, receive expert guidance and maintain professional standards. Supervision is required for many Allied Health and mental health professionals and supports safe, high-quality care.

Our approach

Play is at the heart of therapy at OTFC+. The approach harnesses the power of play and its limitless possibilities to help young people reach their full potential and master their universe. Therapists make play purposeful and effective, so while children think they're simply playing, they're actually improving on and learning new skills. Sessions take place in Australian-first sensory gyms specifically designed to motivate clients to work beyond what they think they are capable of. The philosophy centres on creating an environment where young people feel in control and confident in their abilities.

Working with families

Parents and carers are central to the OTFC+ approach. The organisation offers dedicated Parent Consults & Education through online masterclasses and in-person events designed to empower you to better support your young person. The team also provides In-Community Therapy at home or in school settings, enabling continuity of care and providing practical strategies in real-life settings where parents can learn alongside their child. The Client Services Team maintains ongoing communication to discuss concerns, answer questions, and support families through their occupational therapy journey. Additionally, the organisation offers NDIS support and resources to help navigate the system from the outset.

Your first visit

A first appointment begins with a free Meet & Greet Consultation where new families can explore whether occupational therapy is the right fit for their young person. After this initial consultation, a robust assessment is conducted to understand exactly where your child's challenges stem from. This assessment allows the therapists to identify the specific areas to address through therapy. The Client Services Team will discuss your concerns, answer questions, and recommend which services would be most appropriate for your child's needs. Following assessment, therapy can then be tailored specifically to your young person's situation.
