Home and environment adaptations: Therapists provide recommendations for home modifications, such as grab bars or adaptive equipment, to improve safety and accessibility.
Energy conservation and fatigue management: Learn strategies to pace activities, conserve energy, and prevent overexertion.
Work and community activities: Tailored strategies help individuals gain skills needed for work, hobbies, and social engagement.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, major life changes, relationship issues, or low self-esteem, psychological support can help you better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and improve your overall wellbeing.

Managing unhealthy reactions: Identify and change automatic responses that may be affecting your relationships, work, or overall quality of life.
Support through life changes: Get guidance and tools to navigate transitions such as grief, diagnosis, or relationship shifts.
Understanding emotions and behaviours: Gain insight into how your thoughts and emotions are linked, and how they shape your actions.
Challenging unhelpful thought patterns: Learn to recognise and reframe thinking patterns that may be holding you back.
Exploring root causes: Uncover emotional or psychological contributors to stress, anxiety, or other issues.
Alleviating symptoms: Work towards reducing distress and improving daily functioning through proven strategies.
Enhancing emotional wellbeing and healing: Strengthen your emotional resilience, self-awareness, and capacity for healthy coping.

Functional capacity assessment

A Functional Capacity Assessment is a detailed evaluation by an occupational therapist to understand a person’s ability to manage daily activities, guiding goal-setting, care planning, and NDIS funding applications.

Initial consultation and interview: A detailed discussion to gather information about your health history, current challenges, daily routines, and personal goals.
Observation of functional tasks: The therapist may observe you performing key activities such as mobility, personal care, domestic tasks, or community access to assess physical, cognitive, and psychosocial function.
Comprehensive domain assessment: Assessment may include areas such as communication, mobility, self-care, social interaction, learning, and participation in work or leisure, with standardised measures used where relevant.
Collaboration with your care network: Input from family, carers, or other treating professionals may be sought to ensure a well-rounded understanding of your needs and context.
Detailed reporting and recommendations: A formal report will outline functional strengths and limitations, along with clear, evidence-based recommendations for supports, interventions, assistive technology, or environmental changes to enhance independence and goal attainment.
