Yes! Occupational Therapy services can be more effective when we engage in the location/s that are relevant to your goals.

My Therapy Assist offers Occupational Therapy sessions in agreed upon locations, including at your home, work place/ day program and/or school, as well as our clinic.

Occupational Therapists do provide return to work services, however, it’s a common misconception that Occupational Therapists only support returning to work after an injury. This is just one of the many roles we can provide. 

Your occupation does not just refer to your job, it is a task or activity that a person needs to do, wants to achieve or is expected to participate in and defines you as a person. Our goal is to support people who have difficulties or face challenges engaging in occupations because of a condition, disability or stage of life.

If you are unsure whether an Occupational Therapist may be able to support you, please get in touch with our friendly staff who would be happy to discuss this with you.

Many people need access to more than one support service, Occupational Therapists play a crucial role in recommending and referring clients to other services as needed. Services and equipment recommentadion are based on individual disability needs and funding accessibility, these may include:

• Support worker for community access, personal care and/or cleaning
• Cleaning
• Gardening and/or home maintenance services
• Prepared meal delivery services
• Respite
• General Practitioner (GP) assessment and care services
• Occupational Therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Speech Pathology
• Podiatry
• Psychology
• Support coordination/ case worker/ Home Care Package provider

As Occupational Therapists, it is our responsibility to support overall quality of life and maintain independence as much as possible. Our focus at My Therapy Assist is to offer therapy that reflects the participant’s needs and wants and enable informed decisions making. This includes the right to choose or refuse recommendations and/or services. 

The information we gather as part of our therapy remains confidential as per The Privacy Act (1988). My Therapy Assist uses this to develop customised therapy programs and recommend equipment and aids that reflect client goals to facilitate participation, independence and quality of life.

My Therapy Assist recognises that each person’s wants, needs and expectations are unique. Occupational Therapy is highly suited to work with complex disabilities because of a variety of skills that can be tailored to each individual.

We design our therapies to ensure they reflect client objectives and are set at the client’s own pace. We begin by completing a holistic assessment to determine strengths, challenges and existing supports and identify the most important objectives to each person.

Our therapists support and assist clients to set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and suitably timed (SMART goals). At times we can work on multiple goals simultaneously or focus on one particular goal depending on the individual’s needs. If appropriate we can also engage other therapies: using a multidisciplinary team.

My Therapy Assist will always openly communicate therapy plans with clients and/or their families so you are aware and informed at all times.

Our team at My Therapy Assist works hand in hand with parents during therapy sessions to provide a complete therapy experience for our clients. During our sessions, we empower clients and their significant others by walking them through how to apply learnt techniques and strategies or use equipment. This is then adapted and revised over time at the pace of each individual. 

Our mobile therapists offer the option of engaging in therapy services in a variety of settings. This is tailored to each client’s daily life and the places that are relevant to them, including their home, work, school and/or day programs etc.

Yes! My Therapy Assist offers a range of group programs to our clients. Eligibility will be determined after an initial assessment and therapy consultations are complete. Contact My Therapy Assist today for more information.
