Occupational Therapy in Murray Bridge
Murray Bridge is the service centre for a wide stretch of the Murraylands, and a lot of people we see there have been waiting a long time for an OT who will actually drive out rather than ask them to come to Adelaide.

Make a referralWhat we do in Murray Bridge
Murray Bridge is the service centre for the whole Murraylands, so a lot of what we see here starts as a referral from somewhere smaller — Tailem Bend, Mannum, Karoonda — where it is difficult to find a local OT in short time. The housing is a mix of older brick homes on generous blocks and newer estates on the edge of town. We drive from Adelaide to Murray Bridge typically once per week, and that is the difference between a fortnight and 3–6 months.

Common questions
Do you travel to Murray Bridge?
Yes. Murray Bridge 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 Murray Bridge?
We work with NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, older adults through My Aged Care, and private clients.
How far around Murray Bridge 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.
