At OT Do the diagnosis doesn’t matter as much as your goals. We want to support you with overcoming barriers to engage in life in the way you want.

• We are an adult service and do not see children, but we sometimes see adolescents  
• We specialise in psychosocial conditions such as mental health problems, neurological disorders, autism and intellectual disability. We may not be the best choice if you mainly want help with physical health problems such as spinal cord injuries
• We do not do home modifications
• We do not do complex assistive technology (wheelchairs, hoists etc). The NDIS refers to these as Level 3 and 4 AT (assistive technology). If you are already our client, we will help with advice about minor AT (Level 1 and 2) such as a rail for your bathroom or a wheelie walker.
• We don’t offer physiotherapy or speech therapy services, but we can refer you and we will work closely with other members of your team
