Online Occupational Therapy
Online Occupational Therapy supports NDIS participants to build the skills and confidence needed for everyday life, delivered via secure video consultation. Online OT can assist with daily living activities, sensory and emotional regulation, functional independence, mobility and safety at home, and equipment recommendations, all without the participant needing to travel.
For schools seeking in-school support, view our school-based Occupational Therapy program, designed for principals and Diverse Learning teams, with term-based delivery and measurable outcomes.
At Allied Health 2U, we understand that accessing quality OT support should be flexible and practical. Online Occupational Therapy makes that genuinely possible for NDIS participants in regional and remote areas, those with mobility limitations, those managing anxiety or sensory sensitivities that make travel difficult, and those who simply prefer the convenience and consistency of attending from home.
Our online Occupational Therapists deliver evidence-based, client-centred support using the same clinical processes as in-person sessions: structured assessment, clear recommendations, and progress reporting that meets NDIS plan review standards.
- Accessible from anywhere. Telehealth OT removes geographic, travel, and transport barriers. Participants in regional Australia, remote communities, or those with mobility limitations can access experienced OTs they otherwise couldn't.
- Comfort and consistency. Sessions delivered from home mean participants who experience anxiety in clinical environments or sensory overwhelm in new spaces can engage from a setting they already feel safe in.
- Practical, environment-relevant. Our OTs can observe the participant in their actual home via video, see the kitchen, bathroom, or sensory setup directly, and tailor recommendations to the real environment.
- Coordinated reporting. Functional Capacity Assessments, equipment recommendations, and progress reports are delivered to the same NDIS-aligned standard as face-to-face sessions.
Many private health insurers include Occupational Therapy under extras cover. Coverage and rebates vary between providers and policies, so we recommend contacting your insurer to confirm your eligibility and expected rebate.
Occupational Therapy may be funded through NDIS plans for eligible participants. Some clients may also be able to access Occupational Therapy through Medicare under a GP referral (such as an EPC/Chronic Disease Management plan), depending on individual eligibility and current Medicare requirements. Please speak with your GP or support coordinator to confirm suitability, or contact our team and we can guide you through the options.
How an Online Occupational Therapy session works
An Online Occupational Therapy session takes place via secure video link. The first session is typically an initial assessment, where our OT works with the participant, family, and where relevant the support coordinator or support worker, to understand goals, daily challenges, and what the participant wants out of therapy.
Follow-up sessions are tailored to the goals identified in the assessment. For some participants this looks like skill-building activities walked through together on video. For others it involves coaching parents, carers, or support workers on how to apply OT strategies between sessions. For equipment or home modification needs, our OTs use video to observe the home environment directly, then provide written recommendations and prescriptions afterward.
Where a participant needs an in-person element later (for example, a complex home modification assessment), we can refer to our Mobile Occupational Therapy team where geographically possible.
Who Online Occupational Therapy is for
Online OT works particularly well for participants whose circumstances make in-person sessions difficult, inconsistent, or unnecessary.
Regional and remote participants
Participants living outside major metropolitan areas where qualified NDIS-experienced OTs may be hours away, or unavailable altogether.
Participants with mobility limitations
Where travel to a clinic is itself a barrier, online sessions remove the logistics so therapy time is spent on therapy, not the trip.
Sensory or anxiety sensitivities
For participants who find new clinical environments overwhelming, starting therapy from a familiar home setting often unlocks engagement that wouldn't otherwise happen.
Parent and carer coaching
For paediatric OT, online sessions often work better with the parent or carer present, building their confidence to apply strategies between visits.
Reviews between in-person visits
Online sessions are ideal for follow-ups, progress reviews, and check-ins between block visits from our Mobile OT team, keeping momentum without long gaps.
Busy households and carers
Where time and logistics are tight, online OT delivers consistent therapy without the school pickup or workday clash that often disrupts in-person attendance.
