Local OT guide
Families in Floraville often seek paediatric occupational therapy for a range of reasons. Children may need support with everyday activities like getting dressed, eating, writing, or playing. Some families are referred by their GP or school because a child is finding it hard to concentrate, coordinate movements, manage sensory experiences, or interact with peers. Others are working through a diagnosis or developmental concern and want professional guidance on how to help their child at home and at school.
Looking for the right occupational therapist in Floraville can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already managing a lot. It helps to start by thinking about what your child needs most right now. Is it help with fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care routines, or social participation? Once you have a sense of direction, you can contact local clinics to ask whether they have availability and experience with your child's particular needs.
In New South Wales, paediatric occupational therapy can be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) if your child has an approved plan. The NDIS covers therapy costs for eligible participants. If your child is not NDIS-eligible, you may access therapy through private payment, Medicare rebates (with a GP referral), or sometimes through school or community health services. It's worth asking your GP which pathway might suit your situation.
When you're considering whether a clinic is right for your child, think about practical things: Can they see your child within a reasonable timeframe? Do they communicate clearly about what therapy involves and what to expect? Are they willing to work with your child's school and other professionals? Do they explain how they'll involve you in supporting your child's progress at home? Trust your instincts about whether the therapist seems to understand your child and your family's needs.

Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on whether you're accessing services through the public system, private practitioners, or NDIS. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. If your child needs assessment or diagnosis to access services, speak with your GP first, as they can help prioritise referrals and discuss available options in your area.
A first OT appointment typically includes getting to know your child and family, discussing your concerns, and observing how your child manages everyday activities. The therapist may ask about your child's development, routines, and what you'd like to work on together. They'll explain what occupational therapy involves and discuss next steps. Bring any relevant health information or previous assessments if you have them.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. Search the NDIS provider directory for registered occupational therapists in Floraville. Contact providers directly to check availability and whether they bulk-bill or require out-of-pocket payments. Your NDIS planner can also suggest providers. Keep receipts and track sessions against your plan budget. Speak with your NDIS coordinator if you need guidance.

You might consider OT if your child struggles with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing.

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.
