Occupational Therapists work with people of all ages to build the skills, confidence, and independence needed for everyday life. This support can take place at home, in the community, at school, in clinic, or in other meaningful environments. Our therapists are trained to assess both the person and their surroundings, identifying strengths and reducing barriers to participation in daily activities. 

At Independent Kids and Adults, our occupational therapists provide services for children, adolescents, and adults. We provide support under NDIS, Medicare and child safety, and for privately funded clients.
