You Deserve a Straight Answer About Your NDIS OT Options

Finding an occupational therapist who truly understands the NDIS isn’t easy. With multiple providers, confusing service categories and limited availability, many families end up settling for whoever has a spot rather than spending hours chasing a clear answer.

The problem is that settling for the wrong OT can mean missing out on support that could genuinely change your daily life. Delayed assessments, generic therapy plans and practitioners who don’t understand your goals can all hide behind a busy clinic’s schedule.

OTEP Allied Health is different. As a small, family-run team who know the NDIS inside and out, we give you a direct line to real answers, not a call centre. You’ll know exactly what support is available, whether it fits your plan, and how to get started, usually within one phone call.

OTEP’s Mobile Occupational Therapy Service Covers:

Paediatric & young person OT: practical, age-appropriate support for children and young people to build confidence, independence and skills for everyday life at home, school and in the community
Fine motor, sensory & self-care skills: playful, individualised therapy to support coordination, sensory needs, dressing, grooming and other everyday activities
Routine management & self-regulation: strategies to make daily routines easier, support emotional regulation and help children, young people and families feel more confident day to day
Daily living & independence: practical support with everyday tasks such as dressing, cooking, personal care and household activities, tailored to each person’s goals
Functional capacity assessments: clear, plain-English reports that show how your disability affects everyday life and provide evidence to support NDIS planning and funding decisions
Community access & participation: practical support to build skills and confidence for participating at school, at home and in the wider community
Assistive technology: assessment and recommendations for equipment that can make everyday activities safer, easier and more independent
Home modifications: assessment and planning for changes to your home that improve accessibility, safety and independence

Who This Service Is For

OTEP’s mobile Occupational Therapy service is particularly valuable for:

NDIS participants and families who are new to the scheme and need help understanding how OT fits into their plan
Participants preparing for a plan review who need a current functional capacity assessment to support their goals
People with conditions like multiple sclerosis, stroke, intellectual disability, ASD or chronic pain who want to build independence at home and in the community
Families who want a consistent, familiar therapist rather than a rotating roster of clinicians from a large provider
Anyone who has ever looked at their NDIS plan and simply not known where to start

Frequently Asked Questions About OT

Straight answers to the questions NDIS participants and families ask most often about our mobile occupational therapy service and how to get started with OTEP Allied Health.

Popular OT Related Questions – (Click Here To View Our Main FAQ)

Very little. All OTEP needs to begin is a free 15-minute clinician call about your goals and, if you have one, a copy of your NDIS plan or relevant referral. If you have specific questions about funding, home modifications or assistive technology, details of those are helpful too. There is no commitment required at this stage. OTEP will give you an honest picture of whether our mobile services are likely to be a good fit before you decide anything.

Yes. Our Occupational Therapists can provide therapy in the places where everyday life happens, not just at home. Depending on your goals, sessions may take place at home, at school or in other community settings.

Working in these real-world environments can help your therapist understand the challenges you or your child experience day to day and practise skills in the places they’re actually needed. We’ll work with you to choose a setting that makes sense for your goals and helps you get the most out of each session.

Yes. Paediatric and young person occupational therapy is a key focus for OTEP. Our occupational therapists support children and young people with fine motor skills, sensory needs, self-care, routine management, self-regulation, engagement in everyday activities and motor skill development. Therapy can take place at home, at school or in community settings, and we work closely with families and carers so that strategies carry over into everyday life.

No. OTEP is a fully mobile practice, so there is no clinic to visit. Our practitioners come to your home or meet you in your local community, whether that’s a school, a workplace or another place in your community. You do not need to travel, arrange transport or fit appointments around a clinic schedule. OTEP manages the entire process and keeps you informed with clear updates at every stage.

Yes, if your NDIS funding is self-managed or plan-managed. OTEP is an unregistered NDIS provider, which means we are unable to provide services to participants whose funding is NDIA-managed.

Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Exercise Physiology may be funded through your NDIS plan where the supports are appropriate for your goals and included within your available funding.

If you are unsure whether your plan can be used for OTEP services, get in touch with our team. We can help you understand your funding and confirm your options before you book.

Every person is different. Some clients benefit from regular weekly or fortnightly sessions, while others work in focused blocks with breaks in between. OTEP will recommend a schedule based on your goals, your funding and what works for your family. The best time to start is always now. The sooner you begin, the sooner you build momentum toward the life you want.

Yes. Once engaged, OTEP works closely with your support coordinator, plan manager, GP and other providers as needed. Our occupational therapists and exercise physiologists also collaborate directly with each other on shared goals, so you get integrated support rather than disconnected services. We follow every goal through to real, measurable progress, and we don’t consider our work done until you’re doing more of what matters to you.

OTEP’s ongoing support includes regular therapy sessions in your home, at school or in the community, progress reviews, goal tracking, and adjustments to your program as your needs change. Clients also receive direct support on any NDIS plan reviews, equipment requests, home modification follow-ups or service transitions that occur during their involvement with us.

REAL PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL

Good OT Support Shows Up in Your Everyday Life

Occupational therapy isn’t just about assessments and reports, it’s about what changes at home because of them. Getting dressed without help. Moving safely around your own space. Managing a morning routine without it becoming a battle. For a child or young person, it might mean becoming more engaged in everyday activities, developing their motor skills, managing sensory needs or feeling more regulated and confident at home, school and in the community.

Participants who get the right OT support don’t just tick a box on their plan, they notice the difference day to day: more independence, less reliance on others for everyday tasks, and the confidence that comes from building skills, managing routines and participating more fully in everyday life.

What Happens After Your First OT Session

If your initial assessment identifies goals, challenges or areas where more support could help, we’ll tell you plainly what we found and what can be done about it. From there, you can continue with OTEP for ongoing therapy or simply take the recommendations and act on them yourself, no pressure either way.

Most clients who start with a single session choose to continue, not because they’re upsold, but because a familiar, mobile therapist who actually understands their goals is hard to go back from.
