What to expect
What telehealth covers, and when in person is better.
The OT team confirms clinician fit and availability when you enquire.
Tell us your child's age, what you have noticed and the setup at home. We confirm whether telehealth is suitable before any appointment is discussed.
What to send first
What to include in your enquiry.
Share your child's age, suburb, main routine or school concern, funding type, and any reports or school feedback already available.
- Child age, suburb and main concern (routines, sensory, handwriting, organisation, attention, emotional regulation, social or school participation)
- Funding type, NDIS details if relevant, and school context
- Existing reports, referral details and whether an adult can join video sessions
What works online
Practical support for your child, with you part of the session.
Telehealth can work well for parent coaching, routines, executive function, handwriting strategies, school liaison and sensory strategies. A parent or carer usually helps set up the activity, observes what works and practises the strategy between sessions.
NDIS, a Medicare referral or private payment may apply depending on your circumstances. We will confirm the practical option before you book.
