Occupational Therapy in Southern Adelaide
The south is better served than the regions, so the difference here is usually wait time rather than availability. If you have been quoted months by someone else, it is worth asking us.

Make a referralWhat we do in southern Adelaide
Southern Adelaide covers a lot of ground between the coast and the southern vales, and the housing changes sharply across it — post-war brick in the older suburbs, newer estates further south with narrow internal doorways that a wheelchair will not clear. It is close enough that we can usually get back for a fitting or a trial without making it a second full appointment.

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