Autism Support at Access Health Care — Across VIC
Access Health Care in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Access Health Care offers for autism
Access Health Care supports children with autism spectrum disorder through targeted occupational therapy addressing two key areas: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Many autistic children experience sensory sensitivities—some seek intense input while others find everyday stimuli overwhelming. Our therapists use evidence-informed strategies like weighted equipment activities, sensory bins with varied textures, and controlled movement experiences on therapy equipment to help children regulate their sensory systems. For fine motor development, Access Health Care offers structured activities such as threading tasks, scissor work, and hand-strengthening games that build the precise coordination needed for writing, self-care, and play. These interventions are individualised to each child's profile and preferences. If your child is NDIS-registered, many of these services may be funded under your plan's therapy supports (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply). We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder but work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's participation and independence in daily activities.

About autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental difference that shapes how children process information, communicate, and respond to their sensory environment. In Australia, autism is identified across a wide range of ages, and many families first speak with a GP or paediatrician about referrals for assessment after noticing differences in play, communication, sensory responses, or daily routines.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy help my autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists at Access Health Care can help children develop strategies to manage sensory sensitivities through graded exposure, environmental modifications, and self-regulation techniques. We cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but we work with your child's profile to support their comfort and engagement in everyday situations like school, mealtimes, and social activities.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Access Health Care?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if your child is registered. We recommend confirming our registration status and discussing your child's plan with the NDIS or your planner. Pricing for 2025-26 will apply to funded sessions. Contact Access Health Care directly to discuss your specific circumstances and funding options.
How does fine motor therapy help my autistic child?
Fine motor skills support writing, eating, dressing, and play. Access Health Care uses purposeful activities—like threading, cutting, and hand games—tailored to your child's interests and abilities. Improving these skills can increase independence and confidence in school and home routines.
