Local OT guide
Families in Coraki and the surrounding Northern Rivers region seek paediatric occupational therapy for many reasons. Children may benefit from OT support with everyday activities like self-care, play, learning at school, or managing sensory sensitivities. Some children work with occupational therapists to develop fine motor skills, coordination, or confidence in social situations. Others need support following injury or as part of broader developmental care. If a child's GP or educator has suggested occupational therapy might help, it's worth exploring what's available locally.
Finding the right occupational therapist in Coraki takes time and thought. Parents often start by asking their GP for a referral, which can open doors to funding and specialist recommendations. It's helpful to think about what matters most for your family—whether that's location, appointment flexibility, the therapist's experience with your child's particular needs, or the style of therapy offered. Some families prefer clinic-based sessions, while others find home visits or school-based support more practical.
In New South Wales, children with disability may access occupational therapy through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If your child has an NDIS plan, funding for OT can be included as part of their supports. Families without NDIS access might explore Medicare rebates through a GP referral, private payment, or services offered by local health services. Speaking with your GP about funding options is a practical first step.
When considering whether a clinic is right for your child, think about practical factors: Can you reach the location easily? Do appointment times fit your family's routine? Does the therapist seem to listen to your concerns and goals for your child? It's reasonable to ask about the therapist's experience, their approach to therapy, and how they communicate progress. Trust and good communication between parents and therapists matter greatly.
Coraki is a smaller area, so some families also look at nearby suburbs like Casino and Grafton, where additional occupational therapy services may be available. Expanding the search slightly can sometimes offer more choice or shorter wait times.

Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services may have longer waiting lists than private practitioners. In regional areas like Coraki, availability can differ from larger centres. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current timeframes. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP about options and whether urgent assessment is needed.
A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns. They'll observe how your child plays, moves, and interacts. The therapist may ask about sleep, eating, self-care skills, and school performance. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. You'll usually discuss next steps and any recommendations together.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, check your plan to see if therapy supports are included and what amount is available. Then, find NDIS-registered OT providers in or near Coraki. You'll need to arrange the service directly with the provider. Your NDIS planner or local area coordinator can help explain your plan and answer questions about using your funding.
Paediatric OTs generally support children's development across daily activities like self-care, play, and learning. They may help with fine motor skills, coordination, sensory needs, and independence in routines. Some offer school-based support or home visits. Services vary by provider, so it's worth asking what each practitioner offers. They work with children of different ages and can tailor support to your family's specific situation and goals.
You might consider OT if you've noticed concerns with everyday tasks—like dressing, eating, writing, or playing—or if your child struggles with coordination or seems to avoid certain activities. Some children benefit from support with sensory sensitivities or social participation. If you're unsure whether your child would benefit, speak with your GP or early childhood educator. They can discuss your observations and help guide next steps without pressure.

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.
