We Support the NDIS. Registered NDIS Provider

NDIS Occupational Therapy in Nowra

Navigating the NDIS can feel like a second job. We take that weight off your shoulders. We do not just book appointments. We map out a clear Funding Roadmap that covers your assessments, therapy sessions, and reports right from the start. This prevents funding burnout and ensures you always know exactly where you stand with your budget.

Because we are a multi disciplinary team, we hold Case Conferences where your OT speaks directly with your Physio or Speech Pathologist. You will not have to repeat your story five times. We align our goals so every dollar of your funding works harder for your independence. We prioritize transparency and communication so you always feel in control.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you do not always need a referral. Private clients can book directly. However, if you are claiming through Medicare (EPC), DVA, or Workers Comp, you will need a referral from your GP. NDIS participants do not need a medical referral but should have their plan details ready.
We help you master the job of living. While a physio focuses on how the body moves, an OT focuses on what you need to do with that movement. We look at your environment, your tools, and your skills to help you cook, dress, work, and play with greater independence.
Standard sessions are usually 60 minutes. This includes face to face therapy and time for your therapist to document your progress. We respect your time and funding, so we keep a strict schedule to ensure consistency for all our Nowra clients.
Yes, we have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 48 hours, a 100% fee applies. We frame this as a mutual commitment. We reserve this time exclusively for you, and consistent attendance is the only way to build real capacity and see change.
Yes, we offer mobile services in Nowra. We believe therapy often works best in the environment where you actually live and learn. We can arrange visits to your home, school, or workplace to ensure strategies work in the real world rather than just in the clinic.
