Occupational Therapy to Support Everyday Life

Two children playing with toys indoors. One is seated on a colorful toy car, and the other is standing, holding a wooden toy with wheels and colorful knobs.

Our occupational therapists support children and adults to build independence, develop skills and participate more fully in the activities that matter to them.

Whether you're living with a disability or health condition, navigating challenges with everyday activities, or looking for practical strategies to support greater independence, our team provides personalised, evidence-informed occupational therapy based around your individual needs and goals.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping people participate in the everyday activities (or "occupations") that are meaningful to them. These may include:

  • Personal care and self-management

  • Household tasks

  • Returning to work or study

  • Community access

  • Social participation

  • Hobbies and leisure activities

  • Managing health and wellbeing

Occupational therapists look at the whole person, not just their diagnosis and work collaboratively to find practical solutions that improve independence and quality of life.

Why Choose My Community OT?

We believe effective occupational therapy starts with understanding the person, not just their diagnosis.

Our occupational therapists take the time to understand your strengths, challenges, environment and goals.

Our physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams can also work collaboratively when a multidisciplinary approach would be beneficial.
