Our team works together for you
Occupational therapists
Occupational therapy is a profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation.
The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. In the field of mental health, occupational therapists specialise in assessing how an individual’s mental health problems impact on their ability to perform their everyday occupations and roles. Identified barriers are worked through via the development of goals and treatment plans.
Becoming a registered occupational therapist in mental health requires the completion of the equivalent of a four year applied science degree in occupational therapy and extra training in mental health and well being related services.
Behaviour therapists
Behaviour therapists are responsible for delivering the NDIS Capacity Building approaches and supporting settings to be inclusive of all individuals regardless of their support needs.
Our behaviour therapists all have qualifications in either Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, or Special Education, whilst having the capacity to work within Positive Behaviour Support and Trauma Informed Care best practice principles. The Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner plays a pivotal role in connecting with parents, families, day programs, intervention service providers, education and health services and other mainstream providers. They will also play a significant role in communicating what this change means at an individual level for families as part of their planning responsibilities.
Specialist support coordinators
Specialist support coordinators provide a higher level of support. The focus is on reducing complexity in the participant’s support environment and helping the participant overcome immediate and/or significant barriers in plan implementation.
Specialist support coordination helps participants address complex barriers that affect their access to supports and, where appropriate, design a service plan for their support needs.
Our specialist support coordinators are appropriately qualified and experienced to deliver the expert approach which is needed to address a participant’s complex support needs and/or risks in their environment.
Our specialist support coordinators work with participants, their families and carers to: identify and understand the barriers impacting the participant’s ability to access, use and maintain their supports; find and try solutions to address these barriers; establish a process to overcome these barriers, including prioritising factors that need to be addressed first and what supports need to be in place immediately by creating a support plan, and support the client and the team to implement their support plans to ensure that all your needs are met and support you to have the best possible outcomes to be able to meet your future goals and aspirations.
