"What we do" is all about what you do!
We pride ourselves in tailoring our services to best fit your individual needs.
Assess
The first step to effective planning and delivery of Occupational Therapy services is to clearly identify your needs. This is best done with comprehensive assessment to ascertain specific and measurable functional capacity, environmental factors and goals. In some instances, for example for medico-legal assessments or NDIS access applications, this may be the only step you need to take.
Extensive industry knowledge and clinical experience across many settings ensures that Hervey Bay Occupational Health utilises the best resources, including standardised and internationally recognised assessments, to provide you with robust and meaningful findings.
