Occupational therapy · Woodford
OT for everyday life
Getting dressed, cooking, school, work, getting out the door. Our occupational therapists work on the everyday things at your home, out in the community or at our Woodford clinic, with equipment, home mods and reports sorted along the way.
Piper, on what an OT actually does
The occupational therapist you’d be working with, in her own words.
Looking for an OT near you?
We’re based at 50 Archer St, Woodford, and our OTs travel across the Moreton Bay and Somerset regions every week. If getting to us is the hard part, we come to you.
Kids through to older adults.
NDIS, DVA, WorkCover, Medicare, private.
Assessed where you live.
Occupational therapy alongside physiotherapy, speech pathology and hydrotherapy.
Six reasons people call our OTs
Whatever brings you in, the plan is built around what you want to manage yourself again.
Daily living & self-care
Showering, dressing, cooking and the morning routine, practised and adapted until they work on an ordinary day as well as a good one.
Equipment & assistive technology
From grab rails to wheelchairs and beds. Trialled with you first, then scripted and pushed through the funding paperwork.
Home modifications
Ramps, rails and bathroom changes, from a single rail to a full renovation, assessed in your home and seen through to install.
Assessments & reports
Functional capacity assessments and housing reports written so they hold up at plan review.
Kids & school readiness
Fine motor skills, handwriting, sensory regulation and routines, worked on through play at the clinic, at home or at school.
Community, work & study
Shopping, transport, volunteering, work and study. Building the skills and confidence to get out the door and stay involved.
Your home, working for you
When the house or the gear fights you, everything gets harder. Our OTs assess in your actual home, trial equipment before anything is bought, write the applications and follow it through to install.
Test the gear in your own home before a cent is spent.
AT requests and home-mod applications that get approved.
We liaise with local builders and suppliers, so you don’t have to.
We come back and check it works in real life, then adjust.
The tools behind the report
Plan reviews, schools and GPs want more than an opinion. These are the standardised assessments our OTs run most often.
Movement ABC-3, the 9-Hole Peg Test and coordination testing.
Sensory Profile 2, filled in with parents and teachers.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a short screen of attention, memory and thinking.
WHODAS, PEDI-CAT and Vineland-3, for how everyday tasks are really going.
A full picture of the day, written up as evidence for NDIS plans and reviews.
Housing assessments that back up SIL and SDA applications.
OT that looks like play
Holding a pencil, using cutlery, getting dressed, sitting still on the mat. These are the skills kids need to join in at home, at kindy and in the classroom.
Goals are set with the family and shared across the team, so what happens in a paediatric occupational therapy session carries into the week.
Three ways to see an OT
Most people mix them. Occupational therapy assessments usually start at home, because that’s where daily life happens.
We come to you
Routines, equipment and mods worked out in your own kitchen, bathroom and doorways, where they’ll be used.
Out where life happens
Shops, schools, workplaces and public transport, so the skills are practised exactly where you’ll need them.
At the Woodford hub
Therapy rooms and equipment to trial at 50 Archer St. Need a hand getting here? Our support staff can help with that too.
From first call to first session
Three steps from the first phone call to an OT plan that fits the way you live.
Call or enquire
Tell the front desk what daily life looks like right now. We sort out funding, referrals and whether we start at your home or in the clinic.
First appointment
Your OT looks at how you manage day to day and what gets in the way, then sets goals together with you. Reports written for NDIS, DVA or Medicare.
Plan into action
Sessions, equipment trials and applications, at home, out and about or in clinic, with progress shared across the whole Quad Care team.
Six ways in, all welcome
Not sure which one you’re under? Call the front desk and we’ll work it out with you before anything is booked.
Agency, plan and self managed. Capacity Building, plus Capital for equipment and mods.
Veterans’ cards accepted, with the referral sorted for you.
Return-to-work OT after a workplace injury.
Chronic disease care plans, with a GP referral.
OT funded through your Home Care Package.
Private health and self funded, no referral needed.
Before you pick up the phone
Nope. Most OT starts at home, because that’s where daily life happens. We also visit schools, workplaces and aged care, and the clinic is there when it suits you better.
Yes, regularly. FCAs, housing assessments and progress reports, written in plain language with the evidence the NDIS asks for.
That’s a big part of what we do. We trial options with you, write the script and the AT request, and chase it until the equipment arrives and fits.
A home visit and assessment first, then recommendations, the funding application and liaison with builders. We follow up after install to make sure it works in real life.
We’re taking referrals now. Send them through the form below or call the clinic directly, and someone at the front desk will get back to you.
Not for NDIS or privately funded OT, just call. Medicare care plans need a referral from your GP, and we’ll walk you through getting one.
Yes. Our paediatric OTs work with kids at home, at kindy and at school, and at the hub when a therapy room suits better.
Yes. We can visit soon after you get home to look at transfers, bathroom access and the equipment you need to get through the day safely.
