Mobile Occupational Therapy:
Supporting Independence Where You Live, Work and Participate

What is 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 - everything from self-care and household tasks to work, study and community involvement. OTs 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 OT 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. 

We work collaboratively with clients, families, carers and other allied health professionals to ensure support is coordinated and goal-directed. 

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

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.

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.

Where We Provide Mobile Occupational Therapy

Physio Inq delivers mobile occupational therapy services across Australia. Our network of OTs operates in metropolitan, regional, and rural areas, with national coordination provided through our customer service team. 

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
