OTs — would this be useful to you? 👀

We’re looking at putting together an upcoming webinar focused on Functional Capacity Assessments for psychosocial diagnoses.

The session would cover the practical side of FCAs, including:

• How to ask the right questions during an assessment

• What information is actually important to explore

• How to link what you’re hearing to functional impact

• What to include (and what not to include) in your report

• How to write clear, appropriate and clinically useful recommendations

• Common mistakes we see in psychosocial FCA reports

The aim is to make it make sense! Whilst we never know what NDIS want or need, this training breaks down the functional impairment/s linked to psychosocial diagnoses and how to map out your report. This is for you if you’re newer to FCAs or want to build your confidence with psychosocial assessments.

Would this be something you’d be interested in attending?

Comment below if you’d like to be kept in the loop when we set a date. 😊

At Cullen & Co, we've built the kind of workplace we always wished existed.

A place where you're supported, encouraged to keep learning, and trusted to be the clinician you trained to be. We genuinely believe that when our team feels valued, connected and supported, our clients receive the very best care.

If you're someone who loves learning, values collaboration, and wants to make a meaningful difference, we'd love to meet you.

Here's what you can expect with us:
- Finish at 2:00 pm every Friday
- Weekly supervision, with additional ad hoc support whenever you need it.
- Plenty of opportunities for CPD, shadowing, and learning alongside experienced clinicians.
- A friendly, approachable team who celebrate wins, share knowledge, and genuinely enjoy working together.
- Flexibility and autonomy, with the reassurance that support is always there.
- A workplace where questions are welcomed, growth is encouraged, and your wellbeing matters just as much as your professional development.

We're not looking for someone who's perfect—we're looking for someone who is kind, curious, and aligned with our values. Someone who wants to continue growing while helping others do the same.

If you're ready for a role where you'll feel supported, challenged, and appreciated, we'd love to hear from you.

“I just want to be able to walk to the letterbox and back.”

To many people, that might sound like a simple everyday task.

But for someone living with a psychosocial disability, it can feel overwhelming.

Thoughts like:
• What if people are watching me?
• What if someone talks to me?
• What if I panic?
• What if I’m judged?
• What if I can’t do it?

These thoughts aren’t a choice—they’re real, exhausting, and can stop someone from leaving the safety of their home.

This is where an Occupational Therapist can make a real difference.

We don’t simply encourage someone to “just do it.” We take the time to understand what’s driving those fears, break the goal down into manageable steps, develop practical strategies, build confidence, and support each person at their own pace.

Sometimes the goal isn’t really about the letterbox.

It’s about rebuilding independence.
Feeling safe.
Regaining confidence.
And being able to participate in everyday life again.

Because every small achievement is a step towards something much bigger.

Cullen & Co attended the OT Exchange in Brisbane this week!

Some faves
- .chair - stand assist but with no power or remote and is stunning!
- The portable bidet from The bidet shop, life changing!
- always a pleasure to see the lovely Alyce!
- Ray Ban meta glasses! Wow

The Exchange was a great place to learn, grow, and share knowledge. However the biggest and best take from our time was how beautiful OTs are. Each and every person we met was so willing to share their knowledge, tips, and even contact details if we ever needed to confirm, clarify, or question. What a generous and amazing profession we work in, where instead of competition there is a true and meaningful desire to help all of our kind!

Couldn’t think of a better team to travel with so Thankyou to the amazing team of OTs at Cullen & Co 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Did you know we also support DVA clients?

At Cullen & Co, we're proud to provide Occupational Therapy services for veterans and eligible members of the veteran community through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA).

Our role as OTs is to help you live as independently, safely, and meaningfully as possible. This might include:

✔️ Home safety assessments and modifications
✔️ Equipment recommendations
✔️ Support with daily living activities
✔️ Fatigue and pain management strategies
✔️ Mental health support and routine building
✔️ Falls prevention
✔️ Community access and participation
✔️ Maintaining independence at home

We understand that every veteran's journey is different, which is why our support is tailored to your individual goals, needs, and lifestyle.

If you're a DVA client, or you're unsure whether you're eligible, we'd be happy to chat about how we can help.

📞 Get in touch with our team to learn more.
