If you're looking into paediatric occupational therapy in Kentlyn, you're taking a thoughtful step towards understanding your child's development and wellbeing.

Others might need help developing fine motor skills for writing and drawing, or working through sensory sensitivities that affect their daily life.

Whatever brings you to consider occupational therapy, it's worth exploring what might help your child thrive.

Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP who can discuss referral options and timeframes available in your area.
A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's history, observing how they play and move, and discussing any concerns you have. They may ask about daily routines like eating, dressing, and schoolwork. This helps the therapist understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. Appointments are usually child-friendly and play-based.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy support.

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.
