NDIS Occupational Therapist Bunbury

Person focused NDIS

Occupational therapy is one of the most practical and life-changing supports available through the NDIS. It helps participants build the skills, routines, and strategies they need to manage everyday tasks, take part in their community, and live with greater independence. 

LifeLift is a registered NDIS provider with a friendly, AHPRA-registered team of occupational therapists delivering mobile services to participants throughout Bunbury and the South West WA region. Our NDIS OT Bunbury team works with children, adults, and older participants living with physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and sensory disabilities. Each program is evidence-based, personalised, and built entirely around the individual, delivered at home, at school, in the workplace, or via telehealth. 

NDIS Occupational Therapy Bunbury

Our occupational therapist Bunbury team supports participants to live as independently and confidently as possible. Whether that means getting ready in the morning, preparing a meal, heading into work, or participating in the community, our OTs are focused on making those activities genuinely achievable for each person. 

Our NDIS-registered occupational therapists begin every client relationship with thorough assessments to understand each participant’s functional strengths, challenges, and goals. Drawing on assessment results, our OTs develop a personalised, evidence-based therapy plan to improve functional capacity and overall quality of life. Where appropriate, our therapists also provide advice on home modifications, adaptive equipment, and assistive technologies to make daily living safer and more manageable.

How Do NDIS Occupational Therapy Services Help?

Our NDIS OT Bunbury services are built around real life. Our assessments include functional capacity assessments, psychosocial functional capacity assessments, and assistive technology assessments, each giving our therapists the information they need to plan the most effective therapy approach. 

Based on assessment findings, our occupational therapist Bunbury team may recommend: 

  • Home modifications: Practical changes to improve safety, access, and comfort at home, including grab rails, ramps, and bathroom modifications 
  • Assistive technology: Equipment such as mobility aids, modified computers, shower rails, pressure mattresses, and ceiling hoists to support daily independence 
  • Therapy programs: Personalised, evidence-based rehabilitation programs targeting physical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs 
  • Community participation support: Strategies and skill-building to help participants engage more confidently in their local Bunbury community 

Everything we do is directed toward helping participants reach their NDIS goals and get more from every day.

Functional Capacity Assessments

LifeLift provides thorough Functional Capacity Assessments to help NDIS participants in Bunbury access the right level of funding and support. Our AHPRA-registered occupational therapists assess physical, cognitive, and functional abilities to identify where additional support would make the most meaningful difference in a participant’s daily life. 

Our OTs meet face-to-face with participants to understand their goals, medical background, and treatment history. Standardised tools and assessment frameworks are used to ensure accuracy and consistency. Once complete, our OTs prepare a comprehensive Functional Capacity Report with recommendations for home modifications, assistive technology, or therapy services. Funding for a Functional Capacity Assessment sits under the Capacity Building supports category of your NDIS plan.

NDIS Occupational Therapy Service Agreement?

If your NDIS plan includes approved funding for occupational therapy, you will generally sign a Service Agreement with LifeLift before sessions begin. This sets out the therapy supports being provided, the total cost, the service schedule, and the responsibilities of both the participant and the provider. 

OT services funded through the NDIS must align with your individual NDIS goals and typically sit under the Capacity Building and Improved Daily Living budget category. As your program progresses, your LifeLift occupational therapist will provide regular written progress reports to measure achievements and ensure your plan continues to reflect your evolving needs.
