Occupational therapy in Sydney

An occupational therapist helps you do the everyday things that matter to you, safely and more independently. Many independent OTs in Sydney come to your home, which is where a lot of the assessments happen.

Functional capacity assessments
Home modification assessments
Assistive technology advice and trials
Daily living and self-care skills
Sensory and fine motor support
Reports for your NDIS plan review

A lot of Sydney homes are apartments, older terraces or homes with stairs. If you live in a strata building, changes to common areas usually need your owners corporation’s approval, so an OT who knows how to write up a home modification for strata can save you time. For the full picture on what OTs do, which part of your plan pays and current price limits, see our NDIS OT guide.

Every occupational therapist on Solotude is checked

Before an occupational therapist appears in search, we check their photo ID, their ABN and the NDIS Commission’s compliance records. Occupational therapists must also hold current Ahpra registration, which we check on the national register. Many occupational therapists also add an NDIS Worker Screening Check or a Working with Children Check. We verify those too, and you can filter your search to only see occupational therapists who hold them. Read how it works in our Verification Policy.

What an OT costs in Sydney

Sydney uses the standard NDIS price limits, with no remote loading. Providers can usually also claim some travel time to get to you, up to 30 minutes in metro areas like Sydney, so someone who lives closer can stretch your funding further. Report writing and assessments are usually charged at the hourly rate too, so ask how long a report will take. Every occupational therapist on Solotude shows their rate on their profile, so you know the cost before you message them. See current price limits on our NDIS OT page. You can also check the official NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

Can I choose an occupational therapist outside my local area?

Yes. You can message any occupational therapist on Solotude. Just check they’re happy to travel to you, or offer telehealth where that suits, and whether they’ll charge travel time, before you agree on anything.

What qualifications do OTs need?

Occupational therapists must be registered with Ahpra to practise. On Solotude, we check every OT’s Ahpra registration before they can connect with anyone on Solotude. Experience with your type of disability or the assessment you need is worth asking about in your first message.

Can an OT help with home modifications in a Sydney apartment?

Yes. An OT can assess what you need and recommend changes, from grab rails to bathroom modifications. In a strata building, changes to common property usually need your owners corporation’s approval, so give yourself time for that step.
