Wait times for paediatric OT in Queensland vary depending on whether you're accessing public or private services.

It's worth contacting several providers in the Parrearra area to understand current availability. Your GP can also provide referral options and discuss timeframes with you.

A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family, discussing your concerns, and observing how your child manages daily activities. The therapist may ask about your child's development, routines, and any challenges you've noticed. They'll gather information to understand your child's needs before planning any next steps. Bring any relevant medical information or previous assessments with you.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy funding. Then, find a registered NDIS provider offering paediatric OT in Parrearra, or work with a therapist who can claim through the scheme. Contact the NDIS directly or speak with your local area coordinator if you're unsure about your plan details or how to access services.

Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills, play, school readiness, fine motor development, and sensory needs. Services may include one-on-one therapy, advice for families, school liaison, and strategies for home routines. Some therapists offer telehealth appointments. Services vary between providers, so it's worth asking individual practitioners about what they offer and how they work with families.

If you've noticed your child has difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing, or if you have concerns about their development, it's worth discussing this with your GP. They can help determine whether an OT assessment might be helpful. Trust your instincts as a parent—early conversations with healthcare professionals can provide clarity about whether OT support could benefit your child.
