Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on whether you're accessing services through the public system, private practice, or NDIS. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners in Randwick often have shorter wait times. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can choose from registered providers. It's worth contacting several services to understand current availability in your area.

A first appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns. They'll observe your child playing and completing everyday activities like eating, dressing, or writing. The therapist may ask about your family's goals and what you'd like support with. This helps them understand your child's needs and create a plan tailored to your family.

If your child has an approved NDIS plan with OT funding, you can choose from registered NDIS providers in Randwick. Check the NDIS website's provider search tool to find registered therapists. Contact providers directly to discuss availability and how they work with your plan. You'll need your NDIS plan number and approval details. Some providers also bulk-bill, meaning no out-of-pocket costs.

Paediatric OTs in Randwick generally support children with daily living skills like self-care, play development, school readiness, and fine motor tasks such as writing. They may also work on sensory processing, coordination, and independence in everyday activities. Services are usually delivered through one-on-one sessions, sometimes with home or school visits. Therapists often provide strategies and activities for families to use between appointments.

If you're concerned about your child's development, coordination, self-care skills, or ability to manage everyday activities, speaking with your GP is a good first step. They can discuss your observations and provide guidance on whether an OT assessment might be helpful. Common reasons families seek OT include difficulties with fine motor skills, self-care routines, or managing sensory experiences. Trust your instincts as a parent.
