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 in Marsfield may have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current availability. Your GP can also provide guidance on accessing services in your area.

An initial OT appointment typically includes discussion about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you've noticed. The therapist will observe your child during play and everyday activities. They may ask about school, home life, and what you'd like to work on together. This helps the OT understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. You'll usually discuss next steps together.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy supports and check your funding amount. Then, find a registered NDIS provider offering OT in Marsfield, or work with an independent OT who can claim through the scheme. Your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator can help you understand your options and connect with providers.

Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills, fine motor development, sensory processing, school readiness, and play skills. They may work on handwriting, self-care routines, coordination, and social participation. Some offer home or school visits. Services vary by provider, so it's worth asking what specific areas they focus on and whether they offer the type of support your family needs.

You might consider OT if you've noticed difficulties with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, or writing; challenges with coordination or balance; sensory sensitivities; or trouble participating in play or school activities. If you're concerned about your child's development or functioning, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and advise whether an OT assessment might be helpful.
