Lin
Occupational Therapist
Lin supports children, young adults, neurodivergent clients and older adults by telehealth when online delivery is suitable.
Who this is for
Adults, NDIS participants and referrers who need an OT assessment, report or therapy input that may be suitable to complete online.
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.
What to send first
What to have ready when you call.
Include whether this is for an FCA, report or ongoing therapy, plus funding details, location, current reports and whether face-to-face may be needed.
- Whether the request is for an FCA, report, ongoing therapy, equipment or home modification advice
- Participant location, funding type and plan management details
- Existing reports, support coordinator details and preferred delivery setting
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.
Often suitable by video
Parent coaching, daily routines, planning and organisation, handwriting strategy, school collaboration and sensory approaches that can be practised at home.
Sometimes better in person
Hands-on assessment, equipment trials and work that depends on measuring the physical environment may need an in-person appointment. We will say so clearly on the call.
NDIS, a Medicare referral or private payment may apply depending on your circumstances. We will confirm the practical option before you book.
Questions
Telehealth OT questions
They should usually be directed to face-to-face assessment where possible. The clinician needs to measure the environment, check safety and understand the physical setup before recommendations are made.
Equipment prescription often needs face-to-face input where possible so equipment can be trialled and fitted safely. We can use the enquiry to confirm the right setting first.
