What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy at New Ability Health

Occupational therapy (OT) enables people to participate in meaningful activities, including self-care, learning, play, daily living activities, and participating in hobbies, interests and social events.


OTs perform assessments, provide support and design interventions to enable people to better perform or participate in activities. They assess what you can and can't do, determine what your goals may be, and provide therapeutic interventions (including assistive devices) to make sure you can meet your needs. Assessment and intervention may be provided to support your sensory, motor or problem-solving abilities.

Our services

Our Senior Occupational Therapist , Michael Hirneth, is a Paediatric OT. Michael can help your child in a variety of ways, from assessment to intervention. We are registered to support both NDIS and Medicare participants, and take a client-centred approach to increasing your child's capacity and independence.
