Questions families ask in Hurstville
How long is the typical wait for paediatric occupational therapy in NSW?
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, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP who can discuss options and help prioritise your referral based on your situation.
What does a first occupational therapy appointment involve for a child?
The first 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. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. You'll discuss goals and next steps together. Bring any relevant medical or developmental information with you.
How do I use NDIS funding for occupational therapy in Hurstville?
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a funded support. Check your plan to see if OT is listed and what funding is allocated. Find NDIS-registered OT providers in Hurstville through the NDIS provider finder on the NDIA website. Contact providers directly to discuss your plan and book appointments. Your NDIS planner can also help clarify what's covered.
What services do paediatric occupational therapists in Hurstville typically offer?
Paediatric OTs support children with daily living skills like dressing and eating, fine motor development, sensory processing, school readiness, and play skills. They may work with children who have developmental delays, autism, physical disabilities, or coordination difficulties. Services can include one-on-one therapy, group sessions, and advice for home and school. Ask individual providers about their specific offerings.
How do I know my child needs occupational therapy?
You might consider OT if your child struggles with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, or writing, has difficulty with coordination or balance, seems overly sensitive to textures or sounds, or isn't developing skills at a similar pace to peers. If you have concerns about your child's development, speak with your GP or child health nurse. They can assess whether an OT referral would be helpful.

NDIS funding
Using NDIS funding for OT in NSW
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.
