Local care
Occupational therapy for Baw Baw residents.
Small-farm owners and acreage families make up much of Baw Baw, and kids on these blocks tend to be busy — sport, chores, outdoor play — which is exactly the setting where fine motor, handwriting, and sensory support makes the most practical difference. At about 14 kilometres and a 23-minute drive via Range Road, a standing weekly program is easy to keep up rather than something that falls away after a few visits.
For the adults, hand therapy after a small-farm injury and return-to-work planning are common reasons to book in, alongside capacity assessments for anyone managing a longer-term condition. We also handle equipment needs as they come up, from daily-living aids through to mobility gear. Run-O-Waters, Yarra, and Kingsdale households make a similarly short trip and often end up on the same weekly rhythm.

What we treat
What Baw Baw patients see us for.
Occupational therapy is for day-to-day life — what it asks of you, and how to close the gap when illness, injury, disability, or developmental difference gets in the way. Our OTs are AHPRA-registered and cover kids' sensory work, hand therapy, equipment and home modifications, cognitive rehab, and capacity assessments.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Is Baw Baw close enough to keep up a weekly kids' program?
Yes — at about 14 kilometres and a 23-minute drive via Range Road, weekly sensory or fine motor sessions are practical for most Baw Baw families without disrupting the week.
What funding is available for small-farm hand injuries near Baw Baw?
WorkCover applies if the injury is work-related and the claim is accepted; otherwise private or Medicare (with a GP care plan) may apply. We confirm which pathway fits before booking your visit.
How do I access OT through the NDIS?
We see plan-managed and self-managed participants. OT can cover capacity-building therapy, assessments, equipment and assistive technology, and home-modification reports, all paced against your plan goals. Bring your plan or your plan manager's details when you book and we'll write the progress notes and reports your reviewer needs.
What do I get from a capacity assessment?
Direct contact time across one or two appointments, validated tests, collateral from other clinicians where needed, and a written report to the proper standard. The report covers what you can do across each area of daily life and what support closes the gaps — the format funders, schools, and aged-care teams expect.
