How Mobile Occupational Therapy Works (And Why It Might Be Right for You).
When it comes to healthcare, comfort and convenience can make all the difference and occupational therapy is no exception. That’s where mobile occupational therapy comes in.
As a mobile occupational therapist servicing Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the North Central Coast, I bring therapy directly to you whether that’s in your home, your child’s school, or a local community setting. For many families and individuals in these areas, mobile OT offers a more personal, accessible, and practical way to get the support they need.
Here’s how it works and why it might be the right fit for you or someone you support.
What is Mobile Occupational Therapy?
Mobile OT means I come to you. Instead of attending a clinic, therapy sessions are delivered in the environments where daily life happens:
Your home
Your child’s school or daycare
Community spaces
Supported accommodation or residential settings
This approach helps ensure therapy is relevant to your real-world routines. Why practise tasks in a clinic when we can work on them in your own kitchen, bathroom, or local area?
