What Is Mobile Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) is an evidence-based allied health discipline focused on helping people participate in the everyday activities that are meaningful to them from self-care and household tasks to work, study and community involvement. Occupational therapists assess the relationship between a person, their environment and the activities they want or need to do, and provide practical strategies, modifications and support to improve independence and function. 

Mobile occupational therapy takes this support directly to the client. Rather than attending a clinic, our occupational therapists travel to the home, school, workplace or community setting where daily life happens. This allows therapy to be applied immediately and practically, making it more relevant, effective and accessible, particularly for people who face barriers to attending a clinic. 

At Physio Inq, our mobile occupational therapists are AHPRA-registered clinicians, and registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia; who deliver assessment and therapy across a wide range of needs, ages and conditions. We work collaboratively with clients, families, carers and other allied health professionals to ensure support is coordinated and goal-directed. 

What our mobile occupational therapists can help with: 

  • Activities of daily living (ADL) assessment and retraining 
  • Home modification recommendations and equipment prescription 
  • Functional capacity assessments for NDIS planning 
  • Cognitive rehabilitation and daily routine support 
  • Fine motor skill development and upper limb function 
  • Sensory processing support 
  • Fatigue management and energy conservation strategies 
  • Return to work or study assessment and planning 
  • Assistive technology assessment and prescription 
  • Carer and family education and training 
  • Community access and participation goals 

All treatment plans are developed in collaboration with the client, their family or carer, and the broader care team. 


How We Deliver Mobile Occupational Therapy 

Physio Inq delivers mobile occupational therapy across three service channels, ensuring accessible, flexible support regardless of a client’s location or circumstances. 

In Your Home 

Home-based occupational therapy allows our therapists to assess the actual environment where a client lives and functions. This is particularly important for home modification recommendations, equipment prescriptions and daily living assessments, where the real-world context makes a significant difference to the quality and relevance of the outcome. 

Home visits remove the burden of travel and allow therapy to take place in a familiar, comfortable setting. Our occupational therapists bring all necessary assessment tools and equipment to each session, and schedule appointments at times that suit the client and their support network. 

In Your Community 

For clients with goals related to community participation, work, study or social engagement, Physio Inq can deliver occupational therapy in schools, workplaces, community centres and other relevant settings. Therapy in the community environment allows goals to be practised and refined in the actual context where they need to be applied. 

Online (Telehealth) 

Telehealth occupational therapy is available for assessments, consultations, carer coaching and follow-up sessions that do not require hands-on or environmental assessment. It is particularly useful for clients in regional or remote areas, or as a flexible complement to in-person sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reports (such as Functional Capacity Assessments or Assistive Technology requests) are a critical part of OT. The process involves a comprehensive assessment followed by clinical documentation. Because these reports require significant clinical time, they are billed at our standard hourly rate. We will always provide an estimate of the time required before beginning a major report.

The main difference between Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy is that a Physiotherapist looks at how your BODY functions, within your environment, and treatment is based around getting your body to function better. An OT looks at how you, as a PERSON, functions within your environment as a whole

Paediatric Occupational therapy is working with children and people younger than eighteen to help them achieve their daily occupations that may include self-care, school and play. By concentrating on these key areas, paediatric occupational therapy helps children in developing confidence, self-esteem, social skills and their general wellbeing.

Early Intervention is the term used to describe the services and supports that are available to babies and young children with developmental delays and disabilities and their families. Occupational Therapy has been shown to be very effective as part of an early intervention program.

Multidisciplinary care is at the heart of what we do. With your consent, our OTs regularly communicate with your GP, specialists, and other allied health professionals (like your Physiotherapist) to ensure a holistic approach. For NDIS participants, we work closely with Support Coordinators to ensure therapy aligns with your broader plan goals.


Occupational Therapy can enable people to relearn lost abilities, regain independence and reduce the risk of further strokes. Occupational Therapy is key to recovery of function and mobility after stroke which helps with return to previous levels of function and reintegration into the community after stroke including completion of activities of daily living such as self care, hygiene and meal preparation. Specific and tailored exercise programs are used to achieve client goals.

Occupational Therapy practice involves working with a client to understand what occupations (activities) are important to the person, what difficulties, barriers or challenges they be experiencing in performing these activities, and what goals the person has in relation to their occupations

No, a formal referral is not required to book a private session with Physio Inq. You can book directly with us at any time.

The NDIA is responsible for determining who is eligible to access the NDIS. To allow the NDIA to determine whether you meet the disability or early intervention access requirements, you may need to provide evidence of your disability as part of your access request. This includes information on what your disability is, how long it will last and how it impacts your life. An occupational therapist is an example of a health professional who can assist in providing evidence of ones disability.

Our services are available with a referral.
Certain funding types require appropriate referral, these will be discussed with you at the time of booking your appointment with our customer service team.

We are indeed one of the first NDIS Allied Health providers in Australia, being involved with the first rollout in NSW. We know NDIS very well and our therapists are highly trained in the scheme.
