Telehealth Occupational Therapy
Flexible online occupational therapy sessions so you can access support from anywhere across the NT.
Telehealth occupational therapy allows you to access support remotely using secure online video sessions. It can be a flexible option for people across Darwin, Palmerston and the wider Northern Territory, particularly where travel is difficult.
Telehealth may be suitable for selected therapy sessions, consultations, assessments and family coaching where the clinical goals and circumstances support remote delivery. Some assessment activities require in-person observation.
What telehealth can support
- Ongoing therapy sessions
- Parent, carer and support-worker coaching
- Consultations and planning
- Some assessments, where appropriate
- Progress reviews
- Strategy and routine development
Who may benefit
Telehealth may suit:
- People in regional or remote areas of the NT
- Those with transport or mobility barriers
- Families seeking flexible scheduling
- Clients already engaged in therapy where remote sessions are clinically appropriate
Important considerations
Telehealth is not suitable for every assessment or therapy goal. Our team discusses a suitable approach during referral review rather than assuming a fully remote service suits every client.
Funding
Telehealth sessions may be funded through an NDIS plan, the Support at Home program, or privately, subject to the same funding criteria as in-person sessions. We confirm arrangements before starting.
