Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services may have longer waiting lists than private practitioners. In regional areas like SANCROX, availability can differ from metropolitan centres. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current timeframes. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP who can help prioritise referrals and discuss options available to you.

A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family. They'll ask about your child's daily routines, activities, and any concerns you've noticed. The therapist may observe your child playing or doing everyday tasks. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. You'll discuss goals and next steps together. Bring any relevant medical or developmental information your GP has provided.

If your child has an NDIS plan, OT services can be funded through it. First, check your plan to see if OT is listed as a support. Then, find an OT provider registered with the NDIS in or near SANCROX. You can search the NDIS provider directory online. Contact the provider to discuss how they work with NDIS funding. Your NDIS planner or local coordinator can also help you find suitable providers and understand your plan's details.

Paediatric OTs support children with daily living skills, play, learning, and participation in activities. They may help with fine motor skills, coordination, self-care routines, school readiness, and sensory needs. Some therapists offer home visits or school consultations. Services vary between providers, so it's worth asking what each offers. Many work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to support your child's development and wellbeing.

You might notice your child has difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing. Some children struggle with coordination, organisation, or managing sensory experiences. If you're unsure whether your child would benefit from OT, speak with your GP or early childhood health nurse. They can assess your child's development and discuss whether an OT referral might be helpful. Trust your instincts—if you have concerns, it's worth exploring options.
