Senior Occupational Therapist in Joondalup

When you need a detailed assessment or report, matching the referral with an Occupational Therapist who has the appropriate experience and scope is important.

Our Joondalup clinician is a Senior Occupational Therapist who specialises in assessments and reports for adults aged 18+.
​
Her work focuses on understanding how a person's disability, health condition, abilities, environment, equipment and support needs interact in everyday life.

Depending on the referral, an assessment may explore:

• personal care
• domestic activities
• mobility and transfers
• communication
• cognition
• planning and organisation
• motor planning
• community access and participation
• work, study or other meaningful activities
• home accessibility
• environmental barriers
• Assistive Technology and equipment
• support requirements
• safety
• current and future living arrangements.

The purpose is not simply to identify what a person cannot do.

A comprehensive Occupational Therapy assessment considers the person's strengths, goals and abilities alongside the barriers they experience, the support they currently receive and changes that may improve independence, safety, comfort and meaningful participation.

What to Expect From an OT Assessment

Occupational Therapy Assessments in Joondalup

Our Joondalup Senior OT provides several different types of Occupational Therapy assessment.

The right assessment depends on the question you are trying to answer.

You might know exactly what assessment you require, or you may have been told you need an “OT report” without knowing whether that means an FCA, Assistive Technology assessment, Home Modification assessment, SDA assessment or SIL assessment.

You do not need to work this out alone.

Contact our team with some information about your circumstances and what the assessment is needed for, and we can help determine whether our Joondalup Occupational Therapist may be suitable.

Functional Capacity Assessments Joondalup

A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a comprehensive Occupational Therapy assessment that examines how a person's disability or health condition affects everyday function and participation.

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist provides Functional Capacity Assessments for adults aged 18+.
An FCA may explore areas such as:

• personal care
• household activities
• meal preparation
• mobility and transfers
• communication
• cognition
• memory and attention
• planning and organisation
• community participation
• relationships and social participation
• work, study or other meaningful activities
• current supports
• informal supports
• Assistive Technology
• environmental barriers
• safety
• support needs.

Information may be gathered through interview, observation, assessment tools, review of relevant documentation and discussion with other people involved in your support where appropriate and with consent.

The resulting report brings this information together to explain your functional abilities, support needs and recommendations.

For NDIS participants, an FCA may be relevant when evidence is required for circumstances such as an NDIS access request, plan reassessment, change in circumstances or consideration of disability-related supports.

Every assessment is individual. Recommendations are based on the assessment findings rather than being predetermined.

Assistive Technology & Equipment Assessments Joondalup

The right equipment can make a significant difference to how safely, comfortably and independently someone completes everyday activities.

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist provides Assistive Technology and Equipment Assessments for adults.

Rather than starting with a particular product, an OT assessment considers the activity the person is trying to complete, their functional abilities, their environment and the barriers they are experiencing.

Depending on the person's needs and clinician scope, this may involve:

• adaptive equipment
• daily living equipment
• mobility-related equipment
• seating
• positioning
• equipment for personal care
• bathroom equipment
• equipment to support transfers
• equipment to improve safety or independence within the home.

The process may involve assessment, consideration of appropriate options, equipment trials where required and recommendations or prescription.

For NDIS participants, an Occupational Therapy report may also provide evidence explaining the functional need for recommended Assistive Technology where this is required.

Adaptive Equipment Prescription

Sometimes relatively small changes to the equipment used during an everyday activity can have a significant impact.

Adaptive equipment is designed to make an activity easier, safer or more accessible when a person's movement, coordination, strength, mobility or other functional abilities make the task difficult.

Our Joondalup Senior OT can assess the activity itself, the person's abilities and the environment before considering suitable equipment.
The goal is not simply to prescribe equipment.

The goal is to identify whether equipment is appropriate and, where it is, select an option that genuinely supports the person's everyday function, safety, comfort and independence.

Complex Home Modification Assessments Joondalup

Your home environment can either support everyday function or create additional barriers.

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist provides Home Modification Assessments, including complex Home Modifications within her scope.

A Home Modification Assessment considers how the person currently moves through and uses their home and identifies environmental barriers affecting access, safety or independence.

This may involve areas such as:

• entering and leaving the home
• internal access
• bathrooms
• toilets
• bedrooms
• kitchens
• transfers
• circulation space
• access for mobility equipment
• completing personal and domestic activities
• safety within the home
• current and future equipment requirements.

For more complex modifications, the assessment may require consideration of the interaction between the person's functional needs, equipment, available space and the physical design of the home.

Occupational Therapists may also need to work collaboratively with builders, designers, equipment suppliers and other relevant professionals depending on the modification.

Recommendations are individualised to the person and their environment.

SDA Assessments Joondalup

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is designed for eligible NDIS participants with very high support needs or extreme functional impairment who require specialist housing features.

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist provides SDA Assessments for adults where the referral is within her scope.

An Occupational Therapy SDA assessment considers the relationship between:

• the participant's functional capacity
• disability-related needs
• current living environment
• mobility
• Assistive Technology
• personal care requirements
• support needs
• safety
• environmental barriers
• current and future housing requirements.

The assessment and report can help provide functional evidence about why a person's current housing may not adequately meet their disability-related needs and what environmental features may be required.

An OT does not determine whether the NDIS will approve SDA. The Occupational Therapist's role is to assess function and provide evidence-informed recommendations based on the participant's individual circumstances.

Enquire About an SDA Assessment

---

SIL Assessments Joondalup

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist also provides Supported Independent Living (SIL) Assessments for adults.

A SIL assessment looks closely at the assistance a participant requires to manage everyday activities safely and consistently.
Depending on the participant, this may include:

• personal care
• dressing
• meal preparation
• household activities
• medication routines
• mobility
• transfers
• communication
• decision-making
• daily routines
• community participation
• safety
• supervision
• prompting
• overnight support requirements.

​The assessment considers what the person can do independently, where assistance is required and the nature and frequency of that assistance.

The resulting Occupational Therapy report can provide evidence about the participant's functional abilities and daily support requirements.
SIL relates to the support a participant receives with everyday activities. It is separate from the physical accommodation itself.

If both housing and daily support needs need to be considered, our team can discuss whether an SDA assessment, SIL assessment or broader Home and Living assessment pathway may be appropriate.

Explore Supported Independent Living Assessments
Enquire About a SIL Assessment

---

Need Both an SDA and SIL Assessment?

SDA and SIL are related to different parts of a person's home and living situation.

SDA relates to specialist housing for eligible participants whose disability-related needs require particular housing features.

SIL relates to the support a participant may require to complete everyday activities while living in their home.

Some participants may need evidence relating to both their physical housing requirements and their daily support requirements.

Because these questions can overlap, a comprehensive Occupational Therapy assessment may need to consider the person's functional capacity, current environment, equipment, support needs and future living arrangements together.

If you are unsure which assessment has been requested, send us the referral information or tell our team what you are trying to establish.
We can help determine the appropriate next step.

Explore SDA & SIL Assessments

Occupational Therapy Reports

A detailed Occupational Therapy report should do more than list assessment results.

It should help the reader understand how the person's abilities, disability-related needs and environment affect their everyday life.

Depending on the purpose of the assessment, a report may include:

• reason for referral
• relevant background
• the person's goals and priorities
• assessment methods
• current functional abilities
• strengths
• barriers to participation
• daily living support needs
• environmental factors
• current equipment
• Assistive Technology considerations
• home and living considerations
• assessment findings
• evidence-informed recommendations.

The exact content depends on the assessment completed and the purpose of the report.

Our Joondalup clinician's focus on assessments and reports makes this service particularly suitable for referrals where detailed Occupational Therapy evidence is required.

Adult Occupational Therapy Joondalup

You do not necessarily need a particular assessment to see an Occupational Therapist.

Our Joondalup OT works with adults aged 18+ whose disability, health condition or functional needs affect participation in everyday activities.
Occupational Therapy considers the relationship between the person, the activities they need or want to do, and the environments in which those activities occur.

Depending on your circumstances, Occupational Therapy may explore:

• daily living activities
• independence at home
• mobility and transfers
• motor planning
• equipment
• home accessibility
• community participation
• routines
• safety
• environmental barriers
• changing functional needs.

The focus is practical: understanding what matters to you, what is making everyday activities difficult and what changes, supports, strategies, equipment or environmental adaptations may help.

Motor Planning & Everyday Activities

Motor planning is the ability to plan, organise and carry out the movements required to complete an activity.

Difficulties with motor planning can affect how efficiently or safely someone completes unfamiliar or multi-step physical activities.
For adults, this can affect tasks such as:

• personal care
• dressing
• preparing meals
• household activities
• using equipment
• transfers
• moving through different environments
• learning new physical routines.

Occupational Therapy can explore how motor planning is affecting everyday function and consider strategies, task adaptations, equipment or environmental changes where appropriate.

Mobile Occupational Therapist Joondalup

Our Joondalup Occupational Therapist provides face-to-face mobile OT appointments rather than requiring every assessment to occur in a clinic.

Depending on the referral, seeing someone in their own environment can be particularly valuable.

For example, a home visit may allow the OT to observe:

• how you move through your home
• how you complete everyday activities
• where accessibility barriers occur
• how existing equipment is working
• transfers
• bathroom access
• kitchen access
• home safety
• the interaction between your functional abilities and environment.

This can be particularly important for Home Modification, Assistive Technology & Equipment, FCA, SDA and SIL assessments where the person's real-world environment may be relevant to the assessment.

Our Joondalup OT generally provides face-to-face services within approximately 45 minutes of Joondalup, subject to your exact location, travel conditions, the type of assessment required and clinician suitability.

Travel time and travel charges may apply depending on your funding arrangement and location.

Occupational Therapy Telehealth

Telehealth is also available where clinically appropriate.

Some components of an assessment, follow-up appointment or information-gathering process may be suitable for video consultation.

Whether an assessment can be completed partly or fully via telehealth depends on what needs to be assessed.

For example, an assessment requiring detailed observation of the physical home environment, complex equipment trials or particular face-to-face assessment components may require an in-person appointment.

Our OT will consider what is clinically appropriate rather than assuming telehealth is suitable for every assessment.

NDIS Occupational Therapy Joondalup

Belong Health is a registered NDIS provider.

Our Joondalup Senior Occupational Therapist can work with NDIS participants aged 18+ where the requested Occupational Therapy service is appropriate to the participant's needs, funding and clinician scope.

Assessment referrals may include:

• Functional Capacity Assessments
• Assistive Technology & Equipment Assessments
• Home Modification Assessments

• other adult Occupational Therapy assessments within clinician scope.

Private Occupational Therapy Joondalup

You do not need to be an NDIS participant to access Occupational Therapy.

Our Joondalup Occupational Therapist can also accept suitable private referrals.

Private Occupational Therapy may be appropriate if you require an assessment, report, equipment advice, Home Modification assessment or other Occupational Therapy service within the clinician's scope.

Fees and any potential rebates or other funding arrangements depend on the service and your individual circumstances.
Contact our team before booking if you would like to clarify costs or funding.
