Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services through your local health district may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners in Turramurra often have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current availability. If you're concerned about your child's development, your GP can discuss options and help prioritise referrals.

Initial appointments typically include the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child during play and everyday activities to understand their strengths and challenges. This assessment helps the therapist create a tailored plan. Appointments usually last 45–60 minutes. Your involvement as a parent is important, as therapists often work with families to support progress at home.

If your child has an NDIS plan, OT services can be funded as part of your supports. You'll need to find a registered NDIS provider or an OT willing to work under NDIS arrangements. Check the NDIS website for registered providers in your area. Your NDIS planner can discuss which services suit your plan. Contact the NDIS directly or speak with your local coordinator if you're unsure about your eligibility or funding allocation.

Paediatric OTs support children with daily living skills, fine and gross motor development, sensory processing, school readiness, and play skills. They may work on handwriting, self-care routines, coordination, and social participation. Some offer home visits or school consultations. Services vary by practitioner, so it's worth asking what each therapist specialises in when you contact them to find the right fit for your child's needs.

You might notice your child struggles with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, or writing, or seems less coordinated than peers. Some children have difficulty with sensory experiences or social play. If you're concerned about your child's development or functioning, speak with your GP first. They can assess whether OT might help and provide referrals. Trust your instincts—early support can make a real difference for many children.
