Many families access paediatric OT through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Queensland. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use your funding to pay for OT services. Some therapists are registered NDIS providers, which can simplify the process. It's worth asking potential clinics whether they work with the NDIS and what that looks like in practice.

Do they explain what they're observing and why? Can they work flexibly with your family's schedule? Do they communicate clearly about progress and next steps? Trust your instincts—you know your child best.

A first paediatric OT appointment usually starts with parent questions about routines, strengths, concerns, school or childcare participation, and relevant reports. The therapist may observe play, movement, fine motor tasks, sensory responses, or daily living skills, depending on the referral reason. Sessions often run for about 45 to 90 minutes. Afterward, the therapist explains next steps, possible goals, and whether further assessment is useful.
If your child has an NDIS plan, check whether occupational therapy fits the goals and budgets in that plan. Ask the clinic whether they accept self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed funding, and whether they need service agreements, plan manager details, or support coordinator information. Families should confirm fees, travel charges, reporting costs, and cancellation rules before booking so there are fewer surprises later.
Paediatric OTs commonly support children with fine motor skills, handwriting, self-care, play, sensory processing, emotional regulation, developmental delays, autism-related participation needs, ADHD-related routines, and school or childcare readiness.

Read each listing carefully, then contact the provider to confirm whether their experience matches your child's current goals.
Families often consider OT when a child is finding everyday activities harder than expected for their age, such as dressing, feeding, toileting, play, handwriting, transitions, or coping with sensory environments.

If you are unsure, speak with your GP, paediatrician, teacher, or another qualified professional who can help decide whether an OT assessment is appropriate.

NDIS funding
Many Queensland families access paediatric occupational therapy through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Understanding your plan type helps you find suitable clinics.
NDIS plans come in three management types. Self-managed plans mean the family controls funding directly. Plan-managed plans use a registered plan manager to handle payments. NDIA-managed plans are administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency itself. Each type has different processes for paying therapists.
Occupational therapy typically sits within the "Supports for Daily Living" or "Core Supports" budget categories in NDIS plans, though this varies by individual plan. Some families also access therapy through "Improved Daily Living" or specialist disability support categories.
When contacting a clinic, ask directly whether they accept your specific plan type and management arrangement. Clinics can usually confirm this quickly. It's worth checking your NDIS plan documents to know your available budget and plan management type before making enquiries.
If you're unsure about your plan or eligibility, speaking with your NDIS planner or local area coordinator can clarify next steps.
