Neurological Occupational Therapy

Neurological occupational therapy supports people living with conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or acquired brain injury. It focuses on improving independence, safety, and quality of life by addressing changes in movement, thinking, memory, or daily routines.

Neurological changes can make everyday activities - like cooking, dressing, or driving - more difficult. Occupational therapy provides tailored strategies, rehabilitation programs, and practical adjustments to help people regain skills, adapt their environment, and maintain dignity in daily life. It’s about finding what is possible and building confidence step by step.

An assessment begins with a conversation to understand your health history, daily challenges, and goals. We then use standardised tools and practical tasks to evaluate physical, cognitive, and functional abilities. From there, we create a personalised plan, which may include therapy, home modifications, equipment, or community support.

The benefits vary depending on each person’s needs, but can include:

• Improved safety at home and in the community.
  
• Greater independence with self-care and daily tasks.
  
• Support for memory, concentration, and planning.
  

Guidance for families and carers in providing effective support.
Ultimately, it helps people stay engaged in the activities that matter most.

You don’t always need a referral. Many people self-refer, while others come through their GP, neurologist, or support coordinator. If your therapy is funded by NDIS, insurance, or another program, a referral may be required — and our team can help guide you through this.

Costs depend on the type of assessment or therapy, and whether you are accessing NDIS, insurance, a Home Care Package, or private funding. We provide transparent fee information before booking and can help identify the best funding pathway for your situation.

You can contact Occupational Therapy Brisbane directly by phone or through our website. Our team will listen to your needs, explain the process, and arrange an appointment at our clinic, your home, or another suitable location. Taking this step can bring clarity, support, and a clear plan forward.
