Telehealth
Occupational Therapy Telehealth Services
Our telehealth occupational therapy services bring experienced, child-centred care directly to your home via secure video call — available to families across Australia, including rural, regional and remote areas.
Whether you’re navigating long waitlists, distance, busy schedules or simply prefer the convenience of online sessions, telehealth offers a flexible and effective way to access the support your child needs.
How Does Telehealth Work?
Telehealth sessions are delivered through a simple, secure video platform — no complicated portals or technical know-how required. Sessions are designed to be just as engaging and effective as in-person appointments, with the added benefit of working within your child’s own environment.
During sessions, your occupational therapist will work with you and your child to assess their needs, develop personalised goals and build practical strategies that fit into your family’s everyday routines.

Is Telehealth Right For My Child?
Telehealth is a great option for many children and families, though it may not suit every situation — particularly where hands-on assessment or in-person support is needed. We’re happy to talk through whether telehealth is the right fit for your child before you commit to anything.
