How Occupational Therapists can help people with disability
Having a sense of independence, choice and control over how we live allows us to have a fulfilled and meaningful life. Occupational therapy is for all ages and is goal-based. Occupational therapists work to understand your needs and support you to become more independent so you can increase your participation in everyday life.
Occupational therapists can support you by assessing your needs and recommending the appropriate assistive technology. This could be basic, low-risk items like shower chairs or pencil grips, or more complex equipment, like wheelchairs or hoists. OT’s will provide you with the supporting documentation and advice needed to get these items funded.
They also play a role in home modifications, like implementing ramps or handrails.
An occupational therapist can support you to:
- Build your capacity and increase your independence in everyday tasks like showering, dressing and eating
- Confidently handle ‘life admin’ activities like budgeting and managing household responsibilities
- Work on your relationships and social skills
- Develop strategies for over-stimulating environments or situations
- Build skills in processing and regulating your emotions
- Work on your educational and learning goals
- Introduce helpful assistive technology into your life by providing recommendations, training and supporting documentation

Frequently asked questions
An occupational therapist is an allied health professional who gives advice and helps assess the tools needed for people to gain, increase or maintain independence. These supports will be tailored to suit the person's needs and NDIS goals.
Yes, the NDIS covers occupational therapy. It is an allied health service that is funded under the 'Improved Daily Living’ category of your ‘Capacity Building Supports’ budget in your NDIS plan.
No, you generally don’t need a referral. HeyHubble can connect you with occupational therapists.
An occupational therapist can charge up to $193.99 per hour in Perth metro areas as part of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These arrangements govern the maximum price a provider can charge NDIS participants for their services.
They only apply to funding that is agency-managed or plan-managed. If you self-manage your funding, these price limits don't apply to you.
Participants in other states, regional and remote areas may have different price limits. Refer to the most recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits to check what price limit applies to you.
Funding for allied health generally comes from the ‘Capacity Building’ - ‘Improved Daily Living’ section of your plan. If you have funds allocated to these categories as part of your NDIS plan, you can access occupational therapy.
Not everyone with NDIS funding can access this support. Generally, you will be able to use your plan to cover allied health supports, but it’s important to check that the service you’re after relates to your NDIS plan and is considered ‘reasonable and necessary’.
If you can answer YES to each of these 6 questions, the NDIS is likely to fund your request.
- Is this a product or service you need due to your disability?
- Does it help you meet your goals?
- Is it reasonable value for money?
- Is there evidence that this product or service is effective?
- Is this something that you wouldn’t be able to receive from your family or the community?
- Is the NDIS the most suitable funding scheme to pay for this support?
