We are able to discuss your concerns and offer you occupational therapy advice in our virtual advice clinic.
Who can come to the clinic?
You can attend the advice clinic if:
- you who have previously been discharged from our service, due to not attending appointments
- you were advised to come by an occupational therapist or another health professional
- you're concerned about your child’s ability to participate in everyday occupations
If you're not sure whether your child needs to be referred to occupational therapy services, please discuss with your GP, paediatrician or the school for further guidance.
Health professionals and education staff are also welcome to attend if they wish to discuss a referral.
What can I expect from the clinic?
You will speak with an occupational therapist for around 15-30 minutes.
The therapist will discuss what your concerns are and either give you advice or discuss how your needs may be met.
We can advise whether your child may benefit from a referral to Occupational Therapy and how you can arrange for your school or known health professional to make this referral.
Should I bring my child?
As this is a short session, it will be better for you to attend without your child so that you can discuss your concerns openly.
When is the clinic?
The clinic runs on the second and fourth Thursday of the month, between 9:30 am-12:15.
Please contact our therapy admin team to arrange an appointment during these times. You will be offered a virtual appointment through our secure platform or a telephone appointment, these choices will be discussed with you.
