Occupational Therapy - Thomastown

Occupational therapy (O.T.) at Soaring Health provides tailored interventions to enhance individuals' independence and quality of life, regardless of age or challenges.

Occupational therapy (O.T.) is a transformative health discipline dedicated to optimising the daily lives of individuals grappling with injuries, disabilities, or specific health challenges. Its primary goal is to amplify an individual's potential to live a fully engaged, independent life. To achieve this, O.T. meticulously assesses an individual's strengths, areas of improvement, and unique life circumstances. This comprehensive approach allows for the crafting of bespoke strategies and interventions.

For those facing mobility challenges, solutions may encompass home adaptations, specialised equipment for day-to-day tasks, and skill-building sessions to reinforce self-reliance and confidence. In scenarios where cognitive capacities are hampered, O.T. provides structured systems and techniques to simplify complex tasks such as budget management or culinary activities. Regardless of age, whether it's young NDIS beneficiaries or the elderly, a dedicated Soaring Health occupational therapist, from our Thomastown clinic acts as a guide, supporting individuals in their social, recreational, and vocational pursuits. This holistic approach ensures that each individual can lead a rich, balanced life, marked by increased self-determination and autonomy.

Occupational therapy holds a pivotal place within paediatric care, addressing the multifaceted needs of children as they navigate their developmental stages. For many children, mastering everyday tasks and routines can pose challenges, particularly when it comes to refining motor skills, coordinating movements, or grasping abstract concepts. Paediatric occupational therapy delves into these areas, providing tailored strategies and interventions that allow children to achieve greater independence, improve self-confidence, and engage more fully in their daily lives.

When it comes to children with disabilities, the essence of paediatric occupational therapy becomes even more profound. These children often face enhanced complexities, be it in basic activities like dressing, writing, or more nuanced tasks that involve cognitive or sensory processing. By harnessing the expertise of paediatric occupational therapists, children receive individualised plans that cater to their specific needs, fostering enhanced autonomy and skill development. Through this targeted approach, every child is empowered to overcome challenges, making the most of their abilities and thriving in their environments.

Healthcare funding types

NDIS

If you’re living with a disability, you’re probably familiar with the challenges of accessing the help you need. Not only can the required frequency of therapy can make paying fees unaffordable, funding provisions and onerous application processes can further delay treatment. At Soaring Health, we recognize the importance of accessing the therapeutic services you need, when you need them. As a registered NDIS provider, Soaring Health’s practitioners treat eligible participants under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). What’s more, our community coordinator and customer service team are well-versed in NDIS requirements and can help you to fast-track access to appropriate treatment.

Medicare

When you suffer chronic pain and persistent medical conditions, it can be hard to keep up with healthcare costs. Financial worries may cause you to forgo treatment that would relieve debilitating symptoms and improve your level of functioning and quality of life. At Soaring Health, we believe in removing barriers to you receiving the treatment you need. In the case of chronic pain lasting six months or more, we can provide fully bulk-billed treatment for up to five visits per year under Medicare’s Chronic Disease Management plan or CDM (formerly called an EPC), so you can access the treatment services you need, when you need them, without being out of pocket.

T.A.C

Motor vehicle injuries can vary in severity from minor to life-changing. At Soaring Health, we strive to resolve all injuries caused by transport accidents and collisions. The services available to TAC clients at Soaring Health have been purposefully selected and tailored to address the physical, mental and emotional effects of injuries caused by road trauma. Part of our dedicated community division, this program of services is also designed to relieve the financial burden of your accident and ensure that you receive the treatment you need, when you need it, without out-of-pocket fees. You can access our services through the TAC as soon as you have a claim number, meaning you can dedicate your full focus to making an efficient and satisfying recovery.

My Aged Care

Many people associate the Australian government’s My Aged Care program purely with practical assistance with daily tasks and activities. But if you’re aged over 65, you may also be able to access Soaring Health services such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and home services fee-free through My Aged Care provisions, to enable you to maintain or regain capacities necessary for daily living, and relieve pain and conditions that may otherwise compromise your quality of life. Depending on your circumstances, you may ask your case manager to request these services as part of your support package.

WORKSAFE

Workplace accidents causing serious injury can be devastating. One minute you’re earning a reliable income. The next you’re plagued by uncertainty over when, or even whether, you’ll be able to return to work – not to mention navigating daily life with pain and physical limitations and facing out-of-pocket medical costs or delaying necessary treatment until your claims are processed. Part of the answer to how well you’ll recover depends on receiving the treatment you need, when you need it, and having a collaborative and integrated team of healthcare professionals who can work together to optimise your recovery and support your return to work and daily life.

D.V.A

Serving to protect one's country is a significant human act, but it can lead to lasting physical and mental challenges for veterans.
