Living independently in a vibrant suburb like Ivanhoe is a goal for many NDIS participants. However, maintaining a home and staying active in the community often requires a “partnership” approach. This is where the synergy between Occupational Therapy and community support workers in Ivanhoe becomes vital. Specifically, while an OT provides the clinical strategy, support workers help implement those skills in your daily life.
At Posity, we don’t just provide therapy in a vacuum. We understand that for residents in the 3079 postcode, true progress happens in the kitchen, at the local shops on Upper Heidelberg Road, and during social outings. Therefore, we offer a comprehensive range of Occupational Therapy services that work hand-in-hand with your home support team.

Bridging the Gap: OT Strategy and Daily Support
The most successful NDIS plans are those where the “thinkers” and the “doers” are in sync. Specifically, our OTs create the roadmap for independence, and community support workers in Ivanhoe help you drive the car.
- Adult Independence:
Specifically, our adult OT assessments and services identify the equipment or techniques you need. Your support worker then helps you practice these safely until they become second nature. - Childhood Milestones:
For families, paediatric occupational therapy sets the developmental goals. Support workers or Allied Health Assistants then facilitate these play-based exercises at home. - Adolescent Autonomy:
Specifically, our occupational therapy for adolescents focuses on life skills like catching the train from Ivanhoe Station, which can be reinforced by a community support person.
Why Ivanhoe Residents Benefit from Community-Based OT
Ivanhoe is known for its beautiful parks and active community hubs. Therefore, we believe therapy should happen where your life happens. Specifically, our community occupational therapy team visits you in your natural environment.
Supporting Young Families
If you have a little one starting their journey, our Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) and occupational therapy for kids can occur at your local Ivanhoe childcare centre or kindergarten. This ensures the strategies we use are practical and effective in a real classroom setting.
Safety and Accessibility for Adults
For older residents or those with physical disabilities, we focus on home safety.
