Is Run-O-Waters close enough for weekly kids' sessions?

Yes — at about 12 kilometres and an 18-minute drive, weekly or fortnightly fine motor and sensory sessions for kids are genuinely manageable alongside school and sport commitments, without eating up a whole afternoon each time.

Does NDIS cover occupational therapy for Run-O-Waters families?

Yes, if your child or family member has an NDIS plan with OT supports included. We prepare the reports your plan manager or coordinator needs and can advise on other pathways too.

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 Run-O-Waters residents.

Acreage and lifestyle-block families make up a good share of Run-O-Waters, and school-age kids' sport is part of the weekly rhythm here — which is where we often start the conversation about fine motor skills, handwriting, and sensory regulation. At only around 12 kilometres and an 18-minute drive from the western edge of town, it's an easy addition to a Goulburn school run rather than a special trip.

For the adults in these households, hand therapy after a work or property injury, and return-to-work planning that accounts for physical block-and-acreage tasks, are common reasons to come in. We also handle capacity assessments and equipment recommendations for anyone managing a longer-term condition, with reports prepared for the relevant funder. Close-in commuters from Run-O-Waters, Baw Baw, Yarra, and Kingsdale find the short drive makes regular appointments genuinely manageable, even around a full week of school and work.

What we treat

What Run-O-Waters 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.
