Meet Courts

My name is Courts Karoubas, and I am an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years’ experience working within complex, multidisciplinary care teams.

I have a strong and genuine interest in supporting individuals with multiple co-existing diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

I am deeply committed to ensuring that people are supported to achieve the best possible quality of life each day, rather than merely surviving within the current service systems available to them.

Given the intricate and often interdependent support needs experienced by individuals with complex diagnoses, I firmly believe that co-regulatory caregiver education and collaborative, values-aligned care teams are fundamental to a meaningful and sustainable quality of life.

It is my passionate vision to build a community of like-minded allied health professionals and disability support providers who share a commitment to client-focused, ethical, and values-driven practice.

This wonderful work we do requires depth of clinical reasoning, persistence, and a commitment to seeing the whole person beyond systems and labels.

If this aligns with your values and professional aspirations, I invite you to explore how OT Detectives may add value to your professional journey.

Services to support complex care teams

Community and Educational Events, Clinical Mentoring and Consultation, for Allied Health Practitioners and Disability Support Providers who work in the complex disability support space.

Clinical Support (Professional Consultation, Training and Mentoring)

Within complex care teams, consistent, trauma-informed, and highly skilled professional relationships are critical to achieving safe and sustainable outcomes. Clients with multiple co-existing disability support needs often require collaborative, frequently trans-disciplinary, care which must be delivered across multiple environments.

However, in practice, many clients experience high turnover of support workers and allied health practitioners. This is commonly driven by funding limitations that restrict support ratios, alongside the cumulative impact of workforce overwhelm and burnout. These pressures are further compounded by limited access to high-quality, evidence-based education and clinical mentoring, reducing opportunities for teams to build confidence, skill, and consistency over time.

OT Detectives helps Complex Support Teams to address this gap through individually curated, relationship-centred clinical support.

OT Detectives will host regular in-person community events in Adelaide, South Australia, bringing together disability service providers and practitioners who are committed to ethical, altruistic, and client-focused practice.

Whether you are an allied health professional, a disability support provider, a government / private practice employee, or even a student, we know that working in the complex disability support space can feel overwhelming or even isolating at times.

Our regular in-person community events will provide you with an inclusive environment that values your need for authentic connection, professional wellbeing and, let's face it, the need for a laugh.

OT Detectives is a deeply purpose driven business stemming from years of personal experience working in the complex disability support space across not-for-profits, private practice, and self-employment in many forms.
