We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- Functional Capacity Assessments and report writing where telehealth is suitable
- Ongoing therapy for daily living and participation goals
- Home modifications and equipment trials directed to face-to-face where possible
Telehealth suitability
Online OT is useful when the task fits the setting.
our adult OT guidance is deliberately practical: telehealth can be a strong option for assessments, reports and some ongoing therapy, but it should not be used to shortcut work that needs the clinician in the home or with equipment in front of them.
Often suitable online
Assessments, reports and therapy planning
Functional Capacity Assessments, report writing, plan-review documentation and ongoing therapy can often be considered for telehealth when the referral context, documents and goals fit.
Usually better face to face
Home modifications and equipment trials
Home modifications and equipment prescription usually need face-to-face assessment where possible so the environment can be measured, safety checked and equipment trialled properly.
Send the enquiry with the referral context and we will confirm whether telehealth is suitable before any appointment is discussed.
