Wait times for paediatric OT in Victoria vary depending on the provider and 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 often have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers in the Derrimut area to understand current availability and discuss your child's needs.
A first appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family, discussing your concerns, and observing how your child manages daily activities. They may ask about your child's routines, development, and any challenges you've noticed. This helps the therapist understand your child's needs and create a plan moving forward. Bring any relevant medical or developmental information with you.
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a support. You'll need to find an NDIS-registered OT provider in or near Derrimut. Check the NDIS provider finder on the NDIS website, or contact the NDIS directly for recommendations. Your plan manager or support coordinator can also help you locate providers and arrange sessions within your allocated funding.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills, play, school readiness, fine motor development, and sensory needs. Services may include one-on-one therapy, group programs, school consultations, and home or classroom advice. Specific offerings vary by provider. Contact local OT services in Derrimut to learn what they provide and whether they match your child's needs.
If you're concerned about your child's development, self-care skills, play, or school participation, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and refer you to an OT if appropriate. Common reasons parents seek OT include difficulties with fine motor skills, coordination, concentration, or managing daily routines. Trust your instincts—early support can be helpful.

NDIS funding
Using NDIS funding for paediatric occupational therapy in Victoria
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy is often funded under the 'Therapy and Supports' or 'Core Supports' budget categories. Check your plan document to see what amount has been allocated.
You can manage your NDIS funding in three ways: self-managed (you pay and claim back), plan-managed (a registered plan manager handles payments), or NDIA-managed (the NDIA pays providers directly).
Different occupational therapy clinics accept different plan types. Before booking, contact the clinic directly and ask: 'Do you accept [self-managed/plan-managed/NDIA-managed] plans?' They'll let you know if they're set up to work with your arrangement.
Keep your plan documents handy when making enquiries. If you're unsure whether occupational therapy is right for your child, speak with your GP or paediatrician first.
