Our Mission at The Online OT
As an online service provider, we aim to connect people with psychosocial disabilities and/or neurodiverse presentation to quality care regardless of our client’s geographical location. Our team believe that all Australian’s should be able to access support and care for their mental health and not be weighed down by excessive wait times for local support.
​
We seek to enable equitable service provision of our clients and minimise wait times for quality
occupational therapy by utilising telehealth services.
"Equitable access to health care is essential for inclusive and sustainable progress in society."
