Is it worth the 40-minute drive from Crookwell for a capacity assessment?

Yes — capacity assessments are usually done in a single, longer session, so one trip from Crookwell (about 46 kilometres) typically covers the full assessment and report without a follow-up visit needed.

Which funding pathways cover occupational therapy for Crookwell residents?

Medicare, private, WorkCover, CTP, DVA, and NDIS can all apply depending on your circumstances. We check eligibility with you before your first visit so there are no surprises on cost.

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.

Local care

Occupational therapy for Crookwell residents.

The drive from Crookwell is the longest of the tableland towns we see regularly — around 40 minutes down Crookwell Road, roughly 46 kilometres — so when someone books in, we plan the visit to be worth the trip. Crookwell's farming and grazing community carries the injuries you'd expect: lifting strain, shoulder wear, hands that ache in the cold. Cold-climate joints are a real seasonal pattern here, and capacity assessments plus practical equipment recommendations help older residents stay independent through winter.

Home modifications are a big part of this work for Crookwell households — rails, ramps, and bathroom layout changes that reduce fall risk on a rural property. We coordinate reports for funders and GPs so the paperwork moves as smoothly as the visit itself, and we schedule around the distance so one trip covers what it needs to.
