OTs help children develop the skills they need for everyday activities.
For occupational therapy
Takes about a minute — no account needed.
Paediatric occupational therapists (OTs) help children take part in everyday activities - fine-motor skills like handwriting and using cutlery, sensory processing, self-care routines, coordination, and emotional regulation.
After an assessment, an OT builds a plan tailored to your child and often coaches families and educators on small environment and routine changes that make daily life easier.
Occupational therapy is commonly funded through the NDIS (Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living) when it supports plan goals. Medicare may rebate a limited number of allied-health sessions per year via a GP care plan and referral.
Private health extras can contribute, and some services are available through schools. Eligibility and rebate amounts vary - check with your GP and the provider.
