What's in it
Each row describes one clinic. The columns, in plain words:
-
clinic_name— the name of the clinic -
suburb, state, postcode— where the clinic is located -
city_group— the wider city region the suburb sits in (e.g. Greater Brisbane), where we have it -
availability_status— whether the clinic is taking new clients, has a short, medium or long waitlist, is closed, or is unconfirmed -
wait_time_min_weeks, wait_time_max_weeks— the self-reported wait band in weeks, where a clinic has given one -
accepts_ndis, ndis_registered— whether the clinic accepts NDIS and whether it is registered -
telehealth_available, home_visits_available— whether the clinic offers telehealth or home visits -
last_checked— the date the listing was last checked (YYYY-MM-DD), blank if we have not checked it -
availability_source— how the availability was sourced (clinic confirmed, public website, register, and so on) -
availability_confidence— how confident we are in the current status -
profile_url— a link to the clinic’s OTWaitlist listing
The dataset contains only listing and availability details. It carries no personal contact details, no street addresses, and no clinic owner names.

How the data is collected, and its limits
Most of the data is self-reported by clinics or drawn from public sources. Availability and wait
times come from clinics confirming their status with us, from clinics' own public websites, and from
public registers. The last_checked
column tells you how recent each row is, and
availability_source tells you where it
came from.
This is a snapshot of the clinics we track, not a census of every paediatric OT clinic in Australia. Many rows have an unconfirmed status, and wait times are self-reported, usually as a range, and can change at any time. Region summaries in the wait-times index always state the number of clinics each figure is based on, so a small sample is visible rather than hidden. For the full picture of where our listings come from, see how we check our data.
