Who this is for

Avanti confirms whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.

- Useful for review, planning and guided problem-solving
- Face-to-face recommended when safety, equipment or home access need direct assessment
Telehealth suitability
Online OT is useful when the task fits the setting.
Avanti's 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.
For ongoing therapy, Avanti checks the goals, support context and whether the work can be handled through online planning, coaching and review.
What to send first
One message, fewer phone calls - what to include.
Include the therapy goals, current supports, funding type, participant location and whether any safety, equipment or home environment concerns need direct assessment.
- Daily-living or participation goals
- Current supports, funding type and participant location
- Any safety, home access or equipment concerns
Questions
Online OT Therapy questions
It may cover daily routines, participation goals, strategy review, planning and guided problem-solving when online delivery is clinically appropriate.
No. Avanti checks whether the goal fits telehealth and recommends face-to-face input where safety, equipment or the home environment need direct assessment.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
