Local OT guide
Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Concord, NSW
Families in Concord seek occupational therapy support for their children for many different reasons. Some children need help with everyday activities like getting dressed, eating, or managing personal care. Others may benefit from support with fine motor skills such as handwriting or using scissors. Some families look for assistance with sensory processing, coordination, or building confidence in social situations. If you've noticed your child struggling with any of these areas, an occupational therapist can work with you to understand what's happening and develop practical strategies.
When you're looking for an occupational therapist in Concord, it helps to know what to expect. Most clinics will start with an initial consultation where the therapist learns about your child's needs, routines, and goals. They'll typically observe your child and may ask questions about their development and daily life. From there, they'll discuss what support might look like and how often sessions could occur. Every child is different, so the approach will be tailored to your family's situation.
If your child has a diagnosis or has been referred by your GP or paediatrician, you may be eligible for NDIS funding. In New South Wales, the National Disability Insurance Scheme can help cover occupational therapy costs for eligible participants. It's worth speaking with your GP about whether an assessment or referral might be appropriate for your child, as this can open up funding options.
When assessing whether a clinic is right for your family, consider practical things like location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist's approach feels like a good fit. Think about whether they listen to your concerns and explain things clearly. It's also worth checking whether they bulk bill, what out-of-pocket costs might be, and how they communicate progress with you.

Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on whether you're accessing services through the public system, private practice, or NDIS. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners in Concord often have shorter wait times. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can choose from registered providers. Contact your GP or local health service for current wait time information in your area.
A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child playing and completing everyday tasks. The therapist may ask about school, home life, and what you'd like to work on together. This helps them understand your child's needs and create a plan. Bring any relevant medical or school reports if you have them.
If your child has an approved NDIS plan with OT funding, you can choose from registered NDIS providers in Concord. Search the NDIS provider finder on the NDIS website to see available therapists.

Paediatric OTs in Concord generally support children with everyday activities like self-care, school tasks, and play. They may help with fine motor skills, coordination, sensory needs, and independence in daily routines. Services often include one-on-one therapy, school consultations, and advice for parents. Some therapists offer group programs. Contact local providers to ask about specific services they offer and how they work with families.
If you're concerned about your child's development, coordination, self-care skills, or ability to manage school tasks, speak with your GP first. They can assess whether an OT referral is appropriate. Common reasons parents seek OT include difficulties with writing, dressing, eating, or social play. Your child's teacher or early childhood educator may also notice areas where support could help. A GP can guide you on next steps.

NDIS funding
Understanding NDIS Funding for Paediatric Occupational Therapy in NSW
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy (OT) can be funded through it. Your plan type affects how you access services.
There are three plan types: self-managed (you manage funds directly), plan-managed (a plan manager handles payments), and NDIA-managed (the NDIA pays providers). Each works differently, so check your plan documents to see which applies to you.
Occupational therapy typically falls under the "Therapy and Supports" or "Core Supports" budget category in your plan. Your plan letter will show your allocated amount.
When choosing a clinic, contact them directly and ask: "Do you accept [your plan type]?" They'll confirm whether they're registered with the NDIS and can work with your funding arrangement.
If you're unsure about your plan details, contact the NDIA or your plan manager for clarification.
