NDIS Occupational Therapy Services
Specialised occupational therapy services for adults who have complex cognitive, behavioural and sensory functional support needs due to co-existing diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.
The founder of OT Detectives, Courts Karoubas, is an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years’ experience working within complex care teams.
OT Detectives understands that consistent, trauma-informed and highly skilled professional relationships are essential to achieving safe and sustainable outcomes. We also understand that individuals with multiple co-existing diagnostic support needs often require collaborative, neuro-affirming care delivered across multiple settings.
Courts has extensive experience providing the following specific Occupational Therapy services:
Administrative Review Tribunal Assessment, Evidence Review and Recommendations
Functional Capacity Assessment and Recommendations
Supported Independent Living Eligibility Assessment
Specialist Disability Accommodation Eligibility Assessment
Sensory Processing Focused Assessment and Transdisciplinary Intervention Support (I work with you and your care team)
When receiving Occupational Therapy services you can expect:
Values driven, client-centric and ethical therapeutic support
A focus on personal strengths, difficulties and goals
A trans-disciplinary and consultative model of care
Evidence-based recommendations
Community based support
A focus on supporting individuals and their caregivers to achieve meaningful quality of life, rather than simply surviving “the system"
How to make an NDIS referral
When you complete the Quick NDIS Referral Enquiry Form (5 minute screener) it will give OT Detectives just enough information to let you know quickly whether we have capacity to support your needs, so you don't waste your precious time filling out pages of intake forms, only to find out about extensive waiting lists that are not suitable to your needs.
Please note, OT Detectives DOES NOT currently accept referrals for:
1. NDIA Managed Plans
2. NDIS Participants under the age of 17 years old
NDIS FEE GUIDE:
Occupational Therapy Fee: $193.99 / hour
Travel time is charged at 50% of the applicable hourly service rate and is capped in accordance with the NDIS Travel Pricing Arrangements, based on the appointment location.
A kilometre rate of at least $1.00 (per km) also applies and is discussed at the time of the service agreement depending on your location.
OT Detectives values altruistic therapeutic support.
If we do not have capacity to support you, we will try our best to suggest another excellent local OT who may have capacity sooner.
