Occupational therapists work with clients who may have temporary or permanent disruption to their lives caused through illness or disability.  Therapists work with clients, families and carers in a variety of settings such as the hospital and home. The primary goal of Occupational Therapy is to enable people to participate in activities of everyday life.

 

This is achieved by:

• Home assessment to enhance safety

• Providing safer and easier ways of managing a task.

• Providing interventions including home modifications and prescription of equipment.

• Education on symptom management eg. Pressure care, cancer related fatigue
