Occupational Therapy

At The CARE Centre Australia, our Occupational Therapy services are meticulously designed to enhance daily functioning and foster independence for individuals of all ages. Our primary focus is on improving fine and gross motor skills, self-care abilities, and sensory processing through personalised treatment plans that address specific needs, such as handwriting difficulties, developmental delays, and sensory integration issues.

We offer a variety of therapy options, including individual and group sessions, community-based support, and comprehensive functional assessments. Our expertise extends to home modification recommendations and assistive technology, ensuring that each individual’s environment supports their independence and well-being. Our services are designed to empower individuals, enabling them to live life to the fullest.

We believe every individual and family deserves the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and valued in their daily lives. As a specialist trauma-responsive service, we celebrate diversity and adopt a whole-person approach, providing a wide array of methods to support overall development. Our dynamic approach ensures that goals are met efficiently, meaningfully, and enjoyably. The passion, love, and belief we have in our work are evident in our services, our team, and our environment.

Our occupational therapists have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages, abilities, and diagnoses. Recognising that each person and family is unique with individual wants, needs, and circumstances, we employ a family-focused approach. This supports each individual and family unit in developing essential life skills. We value the role of caregivers and work collaboratively with all supports within a person’s life.

We embed meaningfulness and function into our services, providing a safe and warm environment that allows each individual’s true potential to shine for all to see, feel, and enjoy.
