Our services

The Online OT provides equitable access to occupational therapy services for people with psychosocial disabilities and mental health disorders across Australia. Through our telehealth services, we aim to bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility and ensure that all Australian’s, regardless of their geographical location, can receive the support and intervention needed to improve their mental health.

Functional Capacity Assessments

Conducted through telehealth, our Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA’s)  are designed to provide a thorough understanding of a client's abilities and limitations in their daily life. Our FCA’s involve comprehensive evaluations, including interviews with clients and their support networks, review of supporting documentation, assessment of the client and collaboration with other care providers. We ensure a holistic view of the client's functional capacity, emphasizing their strengths and identifying areas for support. Our detailed FCA’s are tailored to advocate for the client's needs and facilitate access to appropriate services and supports for better management of their disability.
