Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services through your local health district may have longer wait lists, whilst private practitioners often have shorter timeframes. It's worth contacting several providers in the Caringbah area to understand current availability. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can choose from registered providers, which may offer more flexibility in scheduling appointments.

The initial appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and understanding your concerns. They'll observe how your child plays, moves, and interacts, and discuss your child's daily routines and any challenges you've noticed. The therapist may ask about your child's developmental history and what you'd like to work on together. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help.

If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes therapy funding, you can choose from registered OT providers in Caringbah. Check the NDIS website to find registered practitioners in your area. Once you've selected a provider, they'll work with you to arrange sessions and manage the funding claims. Your NDIS planner or local coordinator can answer questions about what's covered under your plan.

Paediatric OTs in Caringbah generally support children with everyday activities like self-care, play, and learning. They may work on fine motor skills, coordination, sensory needs, and independence in daily routines. Some therapists offer home visits or school consultations. Services vary between practitioners, so it's helpful to discuss your child's specific needs when contacting providers to find the right fit for your family.

If you're noticing your child has difficulty with everyday tasks—like dressing, eating, writing, or playing—it might be worth exploring further. Your GP can discuss your observations and help determine whether an OT assessment would be helpful. An occupational therapist can then assess your child and talk through whether therapy would support their development. Trust your instincts as a parent; seeking advice costs nothing and provides clarity.
