Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on whether you're accessing services through public health, private practice, or NDIS. Public services may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners often have shorter wait times. NDIS participants can access services based on their plan. It's worth contacting several providers in Taree to understand current availability and discussing options with your GP or service coordinator.

A first appointment typically includes the therapist getting to know your child and family. They'll discuss your concerns, observe how your child manages daily activities, and may ask about routines at home and school. The therapist gathers information to understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. This session helps them plan appropriate next steps and discuss any recommendations with you.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. First, confirm your plan includes therapy supports. Then, find registered NDIS providers in Taree offering paediatric OT, or arrange services with private therapists who bulk-bill NDIS. Contact your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator for guidance on available providers and how to manage your funding.

If you're concerned about your child's development, daily living skills, coordination, or school participation, speaking with your GP is a good starting point. They can discuss your observations and provide guidance on whether an OT assessment might be helpful.
