Wait times for paediatric OT in Victoria vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can access funded services more directly. It's worth contacting several providers in Mulgrave to understand current availability and discussing urgency with your GP if needed.
The first appointment typically includes getting to know your child and family, discussing any concerns you have, and observing how your child plays and manages daily activities. The OT may ask about your child's routines, development, and what you'd like support with. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where they might benefit from support. It's a chance to ask questions too.
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy funding. Then, find registered NDIS providers in Mulgrave offering paediatric OT, or arrange services with private practitioners who accept NDIS funding. Your planner or local area coordinator can help explain your options and how to access your funding.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills like dressing and eating, fine motor development, play skills, school readiness, and sensory needs. They may offer clinic-based sessions, school consultations, or home visits. Services vary by provider. Contact local practitioners to discuss what they offer and whether it matches your child's needs.
Children may benefit from OT if you notice difficulties with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing; coordination challenges; or sensory sensitivities. If you're concerned about your child's development or daily functioning, speak with your GP first. They can discuss your observations and guide you towards appropriate assessment if needed.

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.
