  • Our approach

    The OT Group provides occupational therapy grounded in person-centred, goal-focused and evidence-based practice. Therapists work with clients to assess their needs, design appropriate therapy plans and support them across a wide range of areas including home modifications, equipment prescription, and assistive technology. Sessions are collaborative, with therapists constantly working alongside clients, families and care givers to improve lives and outcomes. The team celebrates progress through shared "Weekly Wins" and maintains an ongoing commitment to each client's individual needs and goals. Services are tailored to support independence and quality of life across all life stages.

  • Working with families

    The OT Group maintains a strong focus on ongoing client and family relationships, treating parents and carers as integral partners in the therapeutic process. Therapists collaborate closely with families to understand goals, share progress through "Weekly Wins" and provide recommendations for home modifications, equipment and daily activity support. The provider emphasises person-centred care and works alongside families to help children develop skills needed for functional independence. Parents are involved in sessions and in planning interventions to address sensory, motor, social and emotional development challenges that impact their child's everyday life.

  • Meet the team

    The team is led by founder Rebecca Purvis, a senior clinician with over 20 years of experience in occupational therapy and qualifications including a Master of Business Administration and postgraduate training in driver assessment and rehabilitation. Leadership includes Area and Regional Managers with 25+ years' experience in rehabilitation and disability, along with Team Leaders and Clinical Supervisors holding qualifications from universities including La Trobe, Charles Sturt, Lincoln Institute and others.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
