Occupational Therapy in Adelaide Hills
Hills properties throw up access problems metro assessments rarely deal with: long unsealed driveways, split levels, steep approaches, and a long way to the nearest anything. Home modification scoping here is its own skill.

Make a referralWhat we do in the Adelaide Hills
The Hills are the hardest terrain we work in, and it has almost nothing to do with distance. Steep unsealed driveways, houses cut into a slope with the only level access at the back, and split levels inside — a ramp that would be routine on the plains is a retaining-wall job in Stirling or Aldgate. It is worth saying at referral if the property is on a grade, because it changes what we bring and how long we need.

Common questions
Do you travel to the Adelaide Hills?
Yes. The Adelaide Hills is part of our regular service area, and assessments are carried out in the home or community rather than at a clinic.
Do I need a formal referral?
No. Anyone can start a referral: participants, family members, support coordinators, plan managers or GPs. The form asks who is making the referral and takes it from there.
Which funding do you accept in the Adelaide Hills?
We work with NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, older adults through My Aged Care, and private clients.
How far around the Adelaide Hills do you go?
The towns listed on this page are the ones we cover from here. If you are just outside them, send the referral through anyway and we will tell you straight away.
Can any of it be done by telehealth?
Some appointments can, and this is what one looks like. Assessments that depend on seeing the environment, home modifications in particular, need someone on site.
