Occupational therapists help people do the everyday activities that matter to them, from kids struggling with handwriting, sensory processing or school readiness, to adults recovering from injury or stroke, to older Australians wanting to stay safe at home. People book them for assessments, therapy sessions, home modification advice, equipment prescription and NDIS-funded capacity building.
OneBookPlus makes it simple to compare occupational therapists near you, see who works with children, adults or older people, read reviews, check fees and book online instantly. Find an OT with capacity now instead of sitting on a six-month waitlist, including telehealth options.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Occupational Therapist
- Occupational therapists are AHPRA-registered health practitioners; verify their registration and any conditions on the public AHPRA register.
- Choose an OT experienced in your area of need, such as paediatrics, mental health, home modifications or NDIS functional assessments.
- If you are an NDIS participant, check whether the OT is NDIS-registered or, if unregistered, that your plan management allows it.
- Ask about waitlists and session locations upfront; clinic, home, school and telehealth availability varies widely between providers.
- Look for clear goal setting and progress reviews rather than open-ended therapy with no measurable outcomes.
- Check reviews and ask how reports are handled, since assessment reports for NDIS or home modifications carry separate costs.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
Are occupational therapists regulated in Australia?
Yes. OTs are registered health practitioners regulated by the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA. They must hold an approved qualification, meet ongoing professional development requirements and carry professional indemnity insurance. You can check any OT's registration on the free AHPRA public register, which also shows any conditions on their practice.
What does an occupational therapist actually do?
OTs work on the practical activities of daily life. That might mean helping a child develop fine motor and self-regulation skills, retraining an adult after a stroke or hand injury, prescribing wheelchairs and equipment, assessing homes for modifications and falls risks, or supporting mental health recovery. The common thread is building independence in things you need or want to do.
Do I need a referral to see an OT?
Not for private appointments; you can book directly. Referrals matter for funding: a GP chronic disease management plan for Medicare rebates, an NDIS plan with relevant funding for NDIS work, a My Aged Care assessment for aged-care funded OT, or an insurer's approval for workers compensation and motor accident claims. Ask the OT which pathway fits you.
