NDIS Occupational Therapy in Melbourne
NDIS occupational therapy in Melbourne for NDIS participants of all ages. We come to you at home, school or kinder, across Greater Melbourne, from Craigieburn and Whittlesea in the north to Frankston and Cranbourne in the south-east, west to Werribee and Melton, and east to Ringwood and Croydon. Our occupational therapists help with goals like daily living, community life, assistive technology and home modifications. We'll link therapy to your plan goals and write your review reports.
What Is NDIS Occupational Therapy?
NDIS Occupational Therapy provides personalised support for people with disabilities, helping them gain independence, develop daily living skills and participate more fully in home and community life.
Using your NDIS funding for occupational therapy
Occupational therapy is usually funded from the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living budget in your NDIS plan. Some plans say exactly what the funding is for, and others let you use it across different therapies. If you're not sure how yours is set up, your support coordinator or plan manager can check.
We charge in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements, at $193.99 an hour. Each session includes a set amount of time for preparation, notes and liaison, and all our fees are on our fees page in plain language. Before therapy starts, you'll get a service agreement that sets out your supports, costs, cancellation terms and billing.
We're a registered NDIS provider, so we work with participants whose plans are NDIA-managed, plan-managed or self-managed.

Who Is NDIS Occupational Therapy For?
BlueRocket’s NDIS OT supports people whose NDIS plans include funding for Improved Daily Living under Capacity Building.
Participants may be of any age, and services support people with practical tasks, accessibility, mobility or adaptive equipment. BlueRocket Therapy can support participants in accessing these services through their approved NDIS plan.
Reports For Your Plan Review
Your NDIS plan is reviewed regularly, and good evidence makes a difference. Your occupational therapist writes progress reports that show what has changed, explain why therapy is still needed, and recommend the supports for your next plan, including equipment or home modifications if they'd help.
Working With Your Support Coordinator
Your support coordinator helps you compare providers, and the choice is always yours. Once you choose BlueRocket, we keep your support coordinator in the loop: when your service agreement is sent and signed, when your therapist is allocated, and as therapy progresses.
How We Support Your NDIS Goals
BlueRocket OT works closely with other allied disciplines, so you only need to share your story once. Our team-based approach is tailored to your NDIS plan, providing coordinated, practical support across home or community settings.
Initial assessment & goal planning
Your clinician will work with you to identify priorities based on your NDIS plan and individual goals. Together, you’ll develop a personalised therapy plan that reflects your goals, strengths and the areas where support is needed most.
Personalised, evidence-based therapy
Your therapy sessions will involve skill-building at home, within community settings or via telehealth. They may include:
- Improving physical abilities, such as fine and gross motor skills.
- Enhancing cognitive functions such as memory and problem-solving.
- Supporting sensory processing.
- Fostering independence in daily activities.
- Building social, emotional and life skills to promote meaningful participation.
- Assistive technology services, including assessments, prescriptions and training.
Specialised, multi-disciplinary supports
Where relevant to your NDIS plan, we’ll also collaborate with Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists and other allied professionals. Services can include Assistive Device Assessments, Home Modification recommendations or Early Childhood Intervention for developmental motor skills.
Ongoing review & adaptation
Your NDIS therapy plan is reviewed regularly to monitor progress and adjust support as your goals evolve. This process ensures therapy remains meaningful, targeted and aligned with your plan and needs.
BlueRocket Therapy provides clear reports and recommendations to support plan reviews, funding decisions, and ongoing service needs. Our approach keeps both you and your support network fully informed, offering peace of mind every step of the way. Strategies are collaboratively updated to maintain a focus on practical outcomes in daily life.
Flexible NDIS Occupational Therapy Settings
At BlueRocket Therapy, we focus on offering flexible allied health services designed to support our clients and the people who support them. Our therapists provide mobile OT at locations where participants live and learn, focusing on strategies applicable to real-world routines.
Mobile and home visits
Therapy delivered in home settings across the greater Melbourne area allows participants to practice skills where they matter most. This approach encourages family and carer involvement, strengthens the carryover of outcomes into daily routines, all while building lasting confidence and independence. BlueRocket Therapy clinicians provide mobile services across the greater Melbourne area, adapting sessions to each participant’s unique environment.
Community-based support
In addition to home visits, participants can access OT in community settings, such as workplaces, recreational facilities or educational environments. By observing real-life situations, therapists can provide tailored strategies that enhance functional participation, support independence and empower participants to achieve their NDIS goals in their everyday environments.
