Wait times for paediatric OT in Victoria vary depending on the provider and your child's needs. Public services through your local health service may have longer waiting lists, whilst private practitioners often have shorter timeframes. It's worth contacting several providers in Ravenhall to understand their current availability. If your child has an urgent need, discuss this with your GP who can help prioritise referrals appropriately.

Your child's first OT appointment typically includes getting to know your family, discussing your concerns, and observing how your child plays and moves. The therapist will ask about your child's daily routines, development, and any challenges you've noticed. They may do some informal activities to understand your child's skills. This helps the therapist create a plan tailored to your child's needs and your family's goals.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funds for OT services. First, ensure your plan includes funding for therapy. Then, find a registered NDIS provider in Ravenhall or nearby areas who offers paediatric OT. Contact them directly to discuss your plan and book appointments. Your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator can also help you find suitable providers and understand how to access your funding.

If you're concerned about your child's development, coordination, self-care skills, or how they engage in play and learning, it's worth discussing with your GP. They can assess whether an OT referral might help. Common reasons parents seek OT include difficulties with fine motor skills, sensory sensitivities, or challenges with daily routines. Your GP can guide you on whether an assessment would be beneficial for your child.
