When assessing whether a clinic is right for your child, consider a few practical things. Does the therapist explain their approach in a way that makes sense to you?

Wait times for paediatric OT in WA vary depending on whether you're accessing services through the public system, private practitioners, or NDIS. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners in South Bunbury may have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current availability. If you're concerned about your child's development, speaking with your GP can help prioritise your needs.
A first 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 have. The therapist may observe your child playing or doing everyday tasks. They'll discuss your goals and what you'd like support with. This helps them understand your child's needs and plan appropriate next steps together with you.
If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funds for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes OT funding. Then, find a registered NDIS provider in South Bunbury or nearby areas. Contact them to discuss your child's needs and book appointments. Keep records of sessions for your NDIS records. Your NDIS planner can also suggest local providers during plan reviews.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with daily living skills like dressing and eating, fine motor development such as handwriting, sensory needs, play skills, and school readiness. They may offer home visits, school consultations, or clinic-based sessions. Services often include strategies for parents to use at home. Contact local providers directly to learn about their specific offerings and how they can support your child's needs.
You might consider OT if your child struggles with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, or writing; has difficulty with coordination or balance; seems overly sensitive to sounds or textures; or has trouble playing or socialising. Every child develops at their own pace. If you're concerned about your child's development or functioning, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and suggest next steps.

NDIS funding
NDIS funding for paediatric occupational therapy in Western Australia depends on the goals and budgets in a child's plan. Families may be self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed. Self-managed families usually pay the clinic and claim back through the portal. Plan-managed families ask their plan manager to process invoices. NDIA-managed families generally need providers who are registered for the relevant supports. OT is often connected with capacity building supports, improved daily living, therapy supports, or related plan categories, but every plan is different. Before booking, ask the clinic which plan types they accept, whether travel or reports are billed separately, and what details they need for invoicing. If you are unsure whether a service can be funded, check the plan wording, talk with your support coordinator or plan manager, and confirm directly with the provider before the appointment.
