Local care
Occupational therapy for Tarago residents.
Wind-farm and Woodlawn workers make up a distinct part of Tarago's working population, and the physical demands of that work — repetitive tasks, awkward postures, heavy components — show up in our hand therapy and return-to-work caseload. Tarago is a 42-kilometre, 39-minute drive down the Goulburn–Tarago Road, spread out enough that we try to make each visit count with a clear plan rather than a wait-and-see approach.
Farming families around Tarago bring the more familiar rural pattern — lifting strain, shoulder and hand wear from fencing and stock work — alongside capacity assessments for those managing an injury or chronic condition long-term. We also support equipment needs, from daily-living aids to mobility gear, with delivery and fitting timed to the trip. Quialigo, Windellama, and Bungonia households travel a similar distance and book in the same way.

What we treat
What Tarago 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.
Can Tarago residents claim WorkCover for a Woodlawn or wind-farm injury?
Yes, if the injury is work-related and your claim is accepted. We coordinate hand therapy and return-to-work planning directly with your WorkCover case manager once the claim is approved and documented.
Is the 39-minute drive from Tarago manageable for regular visits?
Most Tarago clients book fewer, longer sessions rather than frequent short ones, which keeps the roughly 42-kilometre trip down the Goulburn–Tarago Road worthwhile while still making steady progress between appointments.
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.
