Wait times for paediatric OT in Victoria vary depending on the service provider and current demand. Public services through your local health service may have longer waiting lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers in the Nunawading area to understand their current availability. Your GP can also provide referrals and may have information about local wait times.
A first appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family. They'll discuss your concerns, observe how your child manages daily activities, and may ask about routines at home and school. The therapist will explain what they've noticed and discuss possible next steps. This initial session helps them understand your child's needs and create a plan tailored to your family's goals.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy supports. Then, find registered NDIS providers in Nunawading offering paediatric OT. You can search the NDIS provider directory online. Contact providers directly to discuss your plan and book appointments. Your NDIS planner or local area coordinator can also help you understand your funding and find suitable services.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills, fine motor development, sensory needs, school readiness, and play skills. Services may include one-on-one therapy sessions, home visits, school consultations, and advice for parents. Some therapists offer group programs or workshops. Services vary between providers, so it's worth asking what each practitioner offers and how they tailor support to individual children's needs.
If you're concerned about your child's development, daily activities, or school participation, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and provide guidance. Common reasons families explore OT include difficulties with self-care tasks, fine motor skills, coordination, or managing sensory experiences. A GP can help determine whether assessment is appropriate for your child's situation.

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.
