Occupational Therapist & QLD Allied Health Manager
View profile →
I'm Gemma, an Occupational Therapist, and I have the pleasure of working with young adults through to older adults. I especially enjoy helping those with complex neurological conditions like brain injuries, strokes, or Parkinson's, as well as supporting older adults in staying safe and comfortable in their own homes. Building rapport and creating a comfortable, supportive environment is at the heart of my practice.

How Our Ipswich OT Team Supports You
Support at Home Clinical Care
Occupational therapy sits within the clinical care category of the Support at Home program, which replaced Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025. Clinical care is fully government funded regardless of income or assets, so there is no means-tested contribution for occupational therapy.
AT-HM Scheme Assessments
AT-HM funding sits separate from, and upfront of, the rest of a person's Support at Home budget. It exists specifically to pay for the equipment and home modifications that keep people safe at home, and it is regularly left unused simply because people do not know it is there.
Falls Prevention & Home Safety
Falls are rarely caused by one thing. They are usually the combination of reduced strength, a medication side effect, poor lighting, a loose mat and a task the person should not have been attempting alone. Our assessments consider the person, the task and the environment together.
Reablement After Hospital
The weeks after a hospital admission are when older people most often lose independence for good. Early occupational therapy changes that trajectory, with the right equipment in place before problems become permanent.
Aged Care Funding
Occupational Therapy Under Support at Home
Occupational therapy sits within the clinical care category of the Support at Home program, which replaced Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025. Clinical care is fully government funded regardless of income or assets, so there is no means-tested contribution for occupational therapy.
Our Ipswich Occupational Therapists provide a full range of clinical and home safety services. We also support residential aged care providers across Ipswich, and accept private referrals from people who would rather not wait for funding approval.

Keeping You Safe at Home
Falls Prevention, Reablement & Cognitive Support
Falls Prevention & Home Safety
Falls are rarely caused by one thing. They are usually the combination of reduced strength, a medication side effect, poor lighting, a loose mat and a task the person should not have been attempting alone.
Our home safety and falls prevention assessments consider the person, the task and the environment together, and produce a plan that addresses all three, equipment, modifications, changes to how tasks are done, referral for strength and balance work, carer education, and adjustments to the support schedule.
After Hospital: Reablement and Restorative Care
The weeks after a hospital admission are when older people most often lose independence for good. Early occupational therapy changes that trajectory.
We deliver short-term, goal-focused reablement after hospital discharge, illness, surgery or a fall, rebuilding confidence and function in showering, dressing, meal preparation, mobility and getting back out into the community, with the right equipment in place before problems become permanent. We welcome referrals from Ipswich Hospital and St Andrew's discharge planners, transition care teams and aged care providers.
Living Well with Dementia and Cognitive Change
Cognitive change affects daily function long before it becomes obvious. Our Occupational Therapists assess how dementia, mild cognitive impairment, stroke or other conditions are affecting safety, routine, decision-making and daily activity, and provide:
We Also Support
NDIS Occupational Therapy in Ipswich
We also support NDIS participants throughout Ipswich. Our Occupational Therapists complete Functional Capacity Assessments, home modification and assistive technology assessments, SIL and SDA reports, and provide ongoing capacity-building therapy for adults with neurological, cognitive and functional conditions. We work with plan-managed and self-managed participants and liaise directly with support coordinators and plan managers.
Funded Entitlement
Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme
AT-HM funding sits separate from, and upfront of, the rest of a person's Support at Home budget. It exists specifically to pay for the equipment and home modifications that keep people safe at home, and it is regularly left unused simply because people do not know it is there.
Funding is provided across three tiers within a 12-month access period:
Low tier
up to $500
Medium tier
up to $2,000
High tier
up to $15,000
Complex equipment and any home modification generally require assessment and prescription by a health professional, typically an occupational therapist. We complete the assessment, document the clinical justification, specify exactly what is required, prepare the report to support the funding request, and review the outcome once the equipment arrives or the work is finished.
