Occupational Therapy Services – Specialist Mental Health & Intellectual Disability
At PIP Health Care, our Occupational Therapy services are designed to empower individuals living with psychosocial disability and intellectual disability to build independence, improve daily functioning, and live meaningful lives aligned with their personal goals.
Our experienced Occupational Therapists take a recovery-oriented, person-centred approach, working collaboratively with participants, families, and support networks to understand each individual’s strengths, challenges, and aspirations. We focus not just on clinical needs, but on enabling real-world outcomes that enhance participation, autonomy, and quality of life.
We provide comprehensive, evidence-based services including:
- Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) to support NDIS access, plan reviews, and funding optimisation
- Assessment and intervention to improve daily living skills, including personal care, household tasks, and community participation
- Support with emotional regulation, executive functioning, and cognitive skills, particularly for individuals with psychosocial disability or intellectual impairment
- Environmental assessments and recommendations, including home modifications and assistive technology
- Capacity-building interventions to enhance independence, confidence, and social participation.
- Detailed clinical reports and recommendations aligned with NDIS requirements.
Our OTs have specialised expertise in supporting individuals
experiencing conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability. We understand the complex interplay among mental health, cognition, the environment, and functional ability, and tailor our interventions accordingly.
We bring over 20 years of experience in community-based mental health services, including as a senior OT at the Community Mental Health Team and in mental health Step-Up-Step-Down services, ensuring every intervention is guided by the participant’s goals, preferences, and recovery journey.
At PIP Health Care, our focus is simple
To translate clinical expertise into practical, meaningful outcomes that help participants live with greater independence, dignity, and choice.
