Daily Living Skills OT Brisbane
Daily living skills are the everyday tasks that let you live the way you want: showering, dressing, preparing meals, eating, managing a routine and looking after your home. Our occupational therapists work with you at home to build these skills and make tasks easier and safer.
Who this is for
- Adults with disability who want more independence at home
- Young people building skills for living independently
- Older adults finding everyday tasks harder
- People returning home after illness, injury or hospital
What we work on
- Self-care: showering, toileting, grooming and dressing
- Mealtimes: eating, using cutlery, and setting up meals
- Kitchen skills: simple meal preparation and kitchen safety
- Routines and planning: visual schedules, checklists and step-by-step strategies
- Equipment and home set-up that makes tasks easier
How we work
We start with an assessment of what you can do now and what you want to be able to do. Then we practise real tasks in your home and leave you with a clear program to keep going between visits.
Funding we work with
- NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed (we cannot see NDIA-managed participants)
- Support at Home clients (formerly Home Care Packages), arranged with your provider
- DVA-funded clients
- Private clients

Common questions
Can this support my NDIS plan?
