What is the difference between an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist?

Occupational therapists (OTs) and physiotherapists (PTs) both help individuals improve their functional abilities, but they focus on different aspects of a person's well-being:

Occupational Therapists (OTs) focus on helping individuals engage in meaningful activities in their daily lives. This includes tasks such as self-care, household chores, work, and social activities. OTs work on improving skills related to fine and gross motor abilities, cognitive functions, sensory processing, and more.
Physiotherapists (PTs) focus primarily on improving movement, mobility, and physical health. They help people recover from injuries, surgeries, or conditions that affect movement, such as joint pain, muscle weakness, or postural problems. PTs use exercises, stretches, and manual therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.

Do I need a referral to see an occupational therapist?

You do not need a referral to see an occupational therapist. You can directly contact an occupational therapist or a practice like AccessAbility to schedule an appointment.

However, if you are accessing OT services through the NDIS, you need a plan or funding approval from the NDIS, but a formal referral is not typically required. If you are seeking occupational therapy through a healthcare system like Medicare, some insurance providers, or specific programs, a referral from your GP or another healthcare professional will be necessary.

What kind of funding do I need to receive support for occupational therapy under the NDIS?

To access occupational therapy under the NDIS, you need funding under the 'capacity building' category, specifically the 'improved daily living' subcategory. This funding covers services such as occupational therapy to improve your daily living skills, independence, and overall quality of life.

Additionally, if your NDIS plan includes 'therapeutic supports', this can also be used to cover the cost of occupational therapy services.

How often can I see an occupational therapist under NDIS?

The frequency of occupational therapy sessions under the NDIS depends on your goals, needs, and the funding allocated to your NDIS plan. Your occupational therapist from AccessAbility will recommend a plan of care based on your initial assessment.
