Wait times for paediatric occupational therapy in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs.

It's worth contacting several providers in the Bong Bong area to understand current availability. If you're concerned about your child's development, speaking with your GP can help prioritise your referral.

A first appointment typically includes the occupational 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. They may ask about developmental history and what you'd like to work towards. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. Bring any relevant medical information or previous assessments.

Your NDIS planner or local coordinator can also help guide you through the process.
