Wait times for paediatric occupational therapy in Queensland vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services may have longer waiting lists than private practitioners. It's worth contacting several providers in Auchenflower to ask about their current availability. If you're concerned about your child's development, speaking with your GP can help prioritise your referral and explore options that might suit your family's timeline.

A first appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family. They'll ask about your child's daily routines, any concerns you have, and observe how your child plays and moves. The therapist may use informal activities or standardised assessments to understand your child's strengths and areas where they might benefit from support. This helps them create a plan tailored to your family's goals.

If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy is often included as a funded support. You can choose a registered NDIS provider in Auchenflower or arrange services with a private therapist who bulk-bills NDIS. Check your plan documents to see your allocated therapy budget and any specific conditions. Your NDIS planner or local area coordinator can clarify what's covered and help you find suitable providers.

Paediatric occupational therapists generally support children with everyday activities like self-care, play, learning, and social participation. They may work on fine motor skills, coordination, sensory processing, and independence in daily routines. Services often include one-on-one therapy sessions, advice for parents and carers, and recommendations for home or school environments. Ask individual practitioners about their specific areas of focus.

You might consider OT if you've noticed your child has difficulty with tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing compared to peers. Some children struggle with coordination, sensory sensitivities, or managing daily routines. If you're unsure whether your child would benefit, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and help determine whether an OT assessment might be helpful.
