Wait times for paediatric OT in Victoria vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services through your local health service may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers in the Seaford area to understand current availability. Your GP can also provide referrals and information about local services.
A first appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family. They'll ask about your concerns, your child's daily routines, and what you'd like to work on together. The therapist may observe your child playing or doing everyday activities. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. You'll discuss next steps together.
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a funded support. You'll need to find a registered NDIS provider in Seaford offering OT services. Check the NDIS website's provider finder tool. Discuss with your planner which OT services suit your child's goals. Keep records of appointments and progress. Your OT provider will help coordinate with the NDIS.
Paediatric OTs in Seaford generally support children with daily living skills like dressing and eating, fine motor development, school readiness, sensory needs, and play skills. Many offer services in clinics, homes, or schools. Some specialise in particular areas. Services may include assessment, therapy sessions, and advice for families. Contact local providers to learn what they specifically offer and how they work.
If you're concerned about your child's development, daily routines, or abilities with everyday tasks, speaking with your GP is a good first step. They can discuss your observations and provide guidance. Common reasons families explore OT include difficulties with self-care, fine motor skills, school participation, or sensory sensitivities. Your GP can help determine whether an OT assessment might be helpful for your child.

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.
