If you are ready to connect with a therapist who understands your NDIS journey, you can jump straight to our online intake form.
For many Australians living with a disability, NDIS Occupational Therapy is the most versatile support in their plan. Rather than focusing solely on medical symptoms, an Occupational Therapist (OT) focuses on “function”—the practical ability to participate in the activities that occupy your daily life. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis in Blackburn or seeking to improve your home safety in Bundoora, NDIS-funded OT provides the tools, strategies, and clinical evidence needed to thrive.
At Posity, we deliver Occupational Therapy Services that are specifically designed to meet NDIS quality standards while remaining deeply personal and community-focused.

How NDIS Occupational Therapy Works
Under the NDIS, OT is generally funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living budget. The primary goal is to increase your independence and reduce the long-term need for other supports.
Our OTs work across several key areas:
- Functional Assessments:
Documenting your needs for your plan review. - Skill Development:
Learning new ways to complete daily tasks. - Home Modifications:
Specifically, making your living environment safer and more accessible. - Assistive Technology:
Prescribing equipment that bridges the gap between your current ability and your goals.
Specialised Support for Every Life Stage
We recognise that the goals of NDIS Occupational Therapy change as you grow. Therefore, we provide tailored clinical streams:
1. The Early Years (0–7)
Our Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) programs focus on the crucial window of childhood development. Specifically, our Paediatric Occupational Therapy team uses play-based therapy to build motor skills and sensory regulation. Consequently, Occupational Therapy for Kids helps young participants prepare for school and social success.
2. Adolescents and Young Adults
Transitioning to adulthood brings new challenges. Specifically, our Occupational Therapy for Adolescents targets vocational readiness, travel training, and executive functioning. We help teens in Melbourne’s east and north build the confidence to navigate the world independently.
3. Adult and Community-Based Care
For adults, the focus often shifts to long-term sustainability at home. Specifically, our Adult OT Assessment and Services provide the essential evidence needed for high-level housing or equipment requests. Our Community Occupational Therapy team visits you in your own environment to ensure your home supports your physical and sensory needs.
Innovative Delivery Models in 2026
In the modern NDIS landscape, flexibility is key. To help your funding go further, we utilisze Allied Health Assistants to deliver high-frequency therapy under the supervision of our Senior OTs. This allows for more regular practice of your goals at a more affordable rate.
Additionally, for those with busy schedules or who prefer the comfort of home, our Telehealth Services ensure you never miss a session. By removing the barrier of travel, we make NDIS Occupational Therapy more accessible than ever.
