What Is NDIS Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) focuses on helping participants develop or regain the skills they need to engage in meaningful everyday activities—at home, in the community, and at work.
NDIS Occupational Therapy is designed for people with:
Physical disabilities
Neurological conditions
Sensory processing challenges
Developmental delays
Intellectual disabilities
Psychosocial disabilities
The role of an OT is to assess current abilities, identify barriers, and implement strategies or interventions that promote independence, safety, and function.

Our NDIS Occupational Therapy Services Across Sydney
Our NDIS occupational therapists in Sydney provide the full range of OT supports funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Every service is delivered in your home, workplace, school, or community environment.
Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)
A Functional Capacity Assessment is a detailed evaluation by a qualified OT documenting how your disability affects daily activities. Our FCA reports are NDIA-compliant, delivered within 2 weeks of your first consult, and used to support plan reviews, home modification applications, assistive technology requests, and SIL/SDA submissions. We conduct all FCAs in your own home so the assessment reflects your real environment.
Home Modifications Assessments
Our OTs assess your home for accessibility, safety, and independence — recommending minor modifications (grab rails, ramps, bathroom adaptations) and major modifications where needed. We complete NDIS-compliant home modification reports that justify funding, coordinate with builders and suppliers, and ensure changes actually meet your long-term needs.
Assistive Technology (AT) Prescription
From wheelchairs and walking frames to shower chairs, hospital beds, communication devices, and smart-home technology, our OTs prescribe the right equipment for your needs. We trial options with you, teach safe use, complete the NDIS application with full clinical justification, and follow up after delivery to confirm the fit.
Daily Living Skills & Independence
Regain or build the skills you need for everyday life — personal care, meal preparation, budgeting, community access, using public transport, and managing your own routines. Our OTs create individualised programs that fit your goals, with practical training delivered in the real settings where you’ll use those skills.
Sensory Assessments & Neurodiversity-Affirming OT
For NDIS participants on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, or with sensory processing differences, our OTs provide sensory assessments, regulation strategies, environmental modifications, and support for executive function. We use a neurodiversity-affirming approach that respects how your brain works, not against it.
Paediatric Occupational Therapy
We support children with disability, developmental delay, autism, cerebral palsy, and complex needs. Our paediatric OTs work with families and schools on fine motor skills, handwriting, self-care, play, behaviour, and school readiness — all delivered in your child’s natural environments where learning transfers best.
Conditions Our NDIS Occupational Therapists Support
Our OTs have extensive experience working with children, adults, and older participants with conditions such as:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Stroke and acquired brain injuries
Parkinson’s Disease
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Spinal Cord Injury
Down Syndrome
Intellectual Disability
Cerebral Palsy
Psychosocial disabilities
