Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide occupational therapy in Greensborough?

Yes. Everyday Independence provides NDIS Occupational Therapy for children, teenagers and adults across Greensborough. Our occupational therapists support people to build everyday skills, increase independence and participate more fully in home, school, work and community life. Therapy is delivered where life happens, helping create practical and meaningful outcomes.

Do you provide occupational therapy for children in Greensborough?

Yes. We support children, teenagers and young adults to build skills, confidence and independence in everyday life.

For children aged 0–8 years, support is typically provided through NDIS Early Childhood Supports using a key worker model.  Your child will have one dedicated Key Worker who gets to know your child and family, delivers most therapy supports, and brings in Occupational Therapists and other practitioners when specialist occupational therapy input is needed.

For young people aged 9–26 years, support may be delivered by a youth lead practitioner. Like a key worker, they are your primary point of contact and work alongside occupational therapists to help achieve goals related to independence, daily living, education, employment and community participation.

This team-based approach means your child or young person benefits from occupational therapy expertise while receiving coordinated support from one trusted practitioner.

Do you provide occupational therapy for adults in Greensborough?

Yes. Our occupational therapists support adults with disability to develop daily living skills, increase independence, access their community, explore employment opportunities and achieve personal goals. Support may also include assistive technology, home modifications, Functional Capacity Assessments and strategies that improve participation in everyday life.

For adults aged up to 26 years, support may be delivered by a youth lead practitioner. They are your primary point of contact and work alongside occupational therapists and other therapists, to help achieve goals related to independence, daily living, education, employment and community participation.

This team-based approach means your child or young person benefits from occupational therapy expertise while receiving coordinated support from one trusted practitioner.

Why choose community based occupational therapy in Greensborough?

Therapy works best in the places you live, work, learn, and play. By supporting you in your own environments — including in-home occupational therapy in Greensborough— strategies are practical, relevant, and effective.

What happens during the initial occupational therapy sessions?

Your first sessions are designed to help us understand what’s important to you and how we can best support your goals.

Here’s what typically happens during the first three sessions:

First session: Initial Assessment
A member of our Greensborough therapy team will meet with you at home, school, work or in the community to learn about your strengths, goals and daily life. For children under nine, this assessment is usually led by a key worker. For young people, it may be led by a youth lead practitioner.

Second and third sessions: Focused Assessments
We’ll spend time understanding what you can do in the places you spend your time and identify any barriers to participation or independence. If needed, we’ll involve an occupational therapist or other practitioners, such as speech pathologists or physiotherapists, to assess specific areas and develop targeted strategies.

Together, we’ll use this information to create a personalised plan that helps you build skills, increase independence and achieve meaningful outcomes in everyday life.

What happens after the initial sessions?

After the initial sessions, we’ll work with you to put your personalised support plan into action.

Support takes place in the places where you live, learn, work and socialise across Greensborough and surrounding communities. Depending on your goals, this might include building independence while shopping at local centres such as Greensborough Plaza, building strength and mobility at local parks and reserves such as Kalparrin Gardens or Partingtons Flat, or developing independence at home, school, work and in the community.

Do you provide NDIS paediatric occupational therapy in Greensborough?

Yes, our paediatric occupational therapists support children and teenagers to build independence, social skills, and confidence in their everyday environments.

Do you provide occupational therapy for adults in Greensborough?

Yes, we support adults to build life skills, explore work or volunteering pathways, manage sensory needs, and increase independence at home, work, and in the community.

Why don’t I come into a clinic for my sessions?

At Everyday Independence, we believe people learn best in the environments where they live, learn, work and socialise. That’s why our occupational therapists, key workers and youth lead practitioners provide support in your everyday environments rather than in a clinic whenever possible.

By delivering therapy at home, school, work or in the community, we can see what’s working well, identify real-life barriers and develop practical strategies that fit naturally into your daily routines. Whether you’re building independence at home, navigating community spaces in Greensborough or practising everyday skills at school or work, therapy can be tailored to the situations that matter most to you.

This approach helps make therapy more meaningful, relevant and easier to apply in everyday life.

Do I need a referral for an NDIS occupational therapist in Greensborough?
