No two days are the same as an OT! 🐐

One day you might be problem-solving how to make everyday activities easier, the next you’re… cuddling baby goats 😂🐐

Recently, Rachael and Sam got some very special hands-on experience at the Central Coast Dementia Action Week event, thanks to Percy's Place Goat Sanctuary!

Percy’s Place brings their gorgeous baby goats along to residential aged care communities for some very important work: cuddles, smiles, connection and a whole lot of joy 💙

Honestly, we’re not sure who enjoyed it more — the goats or our team!

Happy OT Week to all the OTs out there! ✨

Sometimes the right equipment can make a surprisingly big difference... 🚀

A person might be finding it difficult to:
🚿 get in and out of the shower
🚽 sitting down and getting up from the toilet
🏠 move safely around the house
🍳 prepare a meal
🛌🏻 get in and out of bed
💫 manage everyday tasks independently

The answer isn't always a major change to the home.

Sometimes, the right piece of assistive technology or equipment can make the task safer, easier or more manageable.

Our Occupational Therapists can look at the person, their environment and what they're trying to achieve — then help identify practical solutions.

Whether it’s making it easier to shower safely, move around the house with confidence or remain independent for longer, our team is here to help. 🏡

A little rain never stopped a good celebration! 🌧️🧺🎉

Our OT team had their own little picnic to celebrate OT Day, and while the weather had other plans, the fun certainly didn’t stop!

The picnic moved indoors to our Mayfield meeting room, where the team enjoyed some food, plenty of laughs and a very competitive game of Pass the Parcel 😂🎁

Because celebrating our amazing OTs isn’t just about the work they do — it’s about the wonderful people behind it, too!

We’re so lucky to have such a caring, fun-loving team helping people build independence, participate in everyday life and work towards the things that matter most to them 💙

Happy OT Week to our and OTs everywhere!

A fear of falling can sometimes lead older adults to reduce their daily activity levels — but less movement can actually weaken muscles and reduce balance over time. 💙

This can create a cycle where staying inactive increases the risk of falls and impacts confidence and independence.

The good news? There are many simple strategies and exercises that can help improve strength, balance and confidence both at home and in the community 🙌🏼

Falls prevention is just one of the many topics we cover in our SeniorStrong Program — an 8-week ONLINE program featuring weekly educational videos and guided exercises designed for seniors.

✨ Build confidence
✨ Improve strength & balance
✨ Stay active and independent

Sometimes it's the simple everyday activities that start to become harder...

Getting dressed.
Preparing a meal.
Showering.
Moving around the home.
Getting in and out of bed.
Managing household tasks.

Our OTs can look at what is making these activities difficult and work with you to identify practical solutions.

That might include assistive technology, equipment, environmental changes, strategies or support to build capacity and independence.

The starting point is always understanding what the person wants and needs to be able to do.

What’s in an OT’s bag? 🎒

This World OT Day, we took a little peek inside our OTs’ bags to find out what they always have with them...

A tape measure? Obviously 📏
Pens? More than anyone could possibly need ✏️
Snacks? Absolutely 😂

When you work in the community, you never quite know what the day will bring — so being prepared for anything is part of the job!

Behind the laughs is a team that's passionate about helping people live more independently, participate in the things that matter to them and achieve their meaningful goals. ✨

Happy World OT Day to our incredible OTs! 🎉 Thank you all so much for your creativity, dedication, compassion and commitment to helping people every day. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the ! 💙⭐

Are you an OT? What do you always carry in your bag?

This OT Week, we’re celebrating our incredible team of Occupational Therapists and the difference they make every day.

This year’s theme, 'Participation Matters', is a great reminder of what OT is all about — supporting people to participate in the things that are meaningful to them ✨

Sometimes it can be big things...

And sometimes it’s the seemingly little things that make a big difference.

Whether it’s getting out and about, spending time with family or friends, feeling confident at home, or enjoying a hobby... OTs help people do more of what matters to them 💙

Our OTs work across so many different areas and with people of all ages, helping turn “I wish I could…” into “I can.”

A huge thank you to our amazing OT team for the knowledge, care and compassion you bring every day. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the ! 🥰

Happy OT Week! 🎉

Good connections make a difference! 🤝🏼🚀

Vanessa and Dean recently attended an Able Meet event, connecting with other NDIS providers, participants, carers, support workers and people across the disability community.

Events like these are a great opportunity to share knowledge, build relationships and strengthen the connections that help people access the support they need to work towards their goals.

At Community Therapy, we love being part of a community that works together to make a meaningful difference 💙

A big thank you to the event organisers and to everyone who took the time to connect with Vanessa and Dean!

We're proud to share that our dietitians are now credentialed in eating disorder treatment 💙

This means we can now support children, teenagers and adults with eating disorders and disordered eating — including people accessing a Medicare Eating Disorder Care Plan.

Support might include helping someone understand their relationship with food, navigating challenges around eating, building confidence around food and mealtimes, and working towards sustainable, individualised nutrition goals.

And you don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out.

Please note that our Dietitians do not diagnose eating disorders — diagnosis is made by an appropriately qualified health professional — but they can provide nutrition support when an eating disorder or disordered eating is suspected or diagnosed.

Whether you’re a person, parent, GP, psychologist or another health professional wondering whether Dietetics could help, we’re here to support the next step.

Support is available across the lifespan.

Learn more about our Dietetics services on our website.
☎️ 1300 031 935

If you need support now, you can contact the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673.

Not your typical CPD session! 👀🛵

Our OTs recently got hands-on with powered mobility scooters and wheelchairs as part of our ongoing learning around powered mobility device assessments 🚀

With guidance from the team at Active Mobility, our clinicians put different devices through their paces — navigating around cones, reversing, managing driveway thresholds and experiencing different terrains, including grass.

Because assessing a powered mobility device isn’t just about knowing the specifications. It’s about understanding how a person will actually operate and navigate the device in their everyday environment.

A huge thank you to Mark Roach, Mark Vickers and Tim Mortimer from AMS for an incredibly practical session and for sharing your expertise with our team 💙
