Wait times for paediatric OT in Queensland vary depending on whether you're accessing services through the public system, private practitioners, or NDIS. Public services may have longer waiting periods, whilst private practitioners often have shorter timeframes. It's worth contacting several providers in the Buderim area to understand current availability. Your GP can also provide guidance on accessing services through different pathways.

During an initial appointment, the OT will typically gather information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child engaging in activities and may ask questions about home and school life. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. The OT will discuss findings with you and outline potential next steps together.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funds for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy supports. Then, find an NDIS-registered OT provider in Buderim and check they accept your funding type. Contact the provider to discuss your plan details and book appointments. The NDIS website has a provider finder tool to help locate registered practitioners in your area.
