Paediatric occupational therapy in Norwest
Families in Norwest seek paediatric occupational therapy for many reasons. Your child might benefit from OT support if they're having difficulty with everyday activities like getting dressed, managing cutlery, writing at school, or playing with peers. Some children need help developing coordination, managing sensory sensitivities, or building confidence in daily routines. Others might be working towards specific goals following an injury or as part of broader developmental support.
If you're thinking about occupational therapy for your child, it's worth speaking with your GP first. They can discuss whether an assessment might be helpful and provide any referrals you might need.

Funding through the NDIS is available for eligible participants in New South Wales. If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a funded support.

When assessing whether a clinic feels right for your family, consider a few things. Does the therapist listen to your concerns and goals?

Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services may have longer waiting lists, sometimes several months, whilst private practitioners often have shorter timeframes. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP who can provide guidance on accessing services and may offer referral options that suit your situation.
A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's background, development, and daily routines. They'll observe your child during play and everyday activities, and may ask questions about what challenges you've noticed. This helps the therapist understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. Bring any relevant medical or developmental records with you.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. Search the NDIS provider directory to find registered occupational therapists in Norwest who accept NDIS participants. Contact providers directly to confirm they have availability and can work with your plan. Your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator can also suggest registered providers in your area.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills, fine motor development, sensory processing, school readiness, and play participation. Services may include one-on-one therapy, group programs, school consultations, and home or classroom advice. Specific offerings vary between practitioners, so it's worth asking individual therapists about their particular areas of focus and available services.
You might consider OT if you've noticed difficulties with tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing. Some children struggle with coordination, sensory sensitivities, or managing daily routines. If you have concerns about your child's development or functioning, speak with your GP first. They can assess whether an OT referral might be helpful and guide you towards appropriate services.

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.
