Start where you are
Three people land on this page with three different questions. Here’s the shortest route to yours.
I have an NDIS plan
Assessments, reports, equipment, home modifications and therapy that build capacity for everyday life. Self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants all welcome.
See NDIS supportsI’m a support coordinator
Current capacity, the suburbs we cover, agreed report turnarounds and a referral form that takes about two minutes. We confirm receipt the same day.
Refer a participantI’m older, or a carer
Under Support at Home, occupational therapy is fully government funded. Nothing for you to pay. Here’s how to access it.

Assistive Technology
Wheelchairs, scripted seating, hoists, pressure care and daily living equipment.
Manual Handling & Care Plans

How working with us goes
No clinic, no waiting room, and no guessing about what happens after you get in touch.

Within two business days, to talk through goals, funding and when we can get to you.
We visit you
The assessment happens in your home, workplace or wherever the difficulty actually occurs.
Report and plan
Clear recommendations you and your team can act on, delivered within the timeframe we agree upfront.

Maitland and the Lower Hunter, including Dungog and Stroud
