inOne Healthcare

Community Occupational Therapy Across Melbourne

inOne Healthcare's Community Occupational Therapists come to you, right across metropolitan Melbourne. We support NDIS participants of all ages, older Australians receiving aged care funding, hospitals and rehabilitation teams, aged care providers, schools and kindergartens, and the families and carers behind them. In-clinic paediatric appointments are also available at our Roxburgh Park location for families who prefer a clinic setting.

Occupational therapy is about function. Not a diagnosis on a page, but whether a person can shower safely, prepare a meal, get to an appointment, manage their medication, hold a conversation, return to work, or take part in the things that make life meaningful. Because we deliver care in the home and community, we see how a person genuinely manages in their own kitchen, bathroom, hallway and neighbourhood. That produces far more accurate assessment findings and far more practical recommendations than a clinic room can.

Adults & Neuro

Neurological Occupational Therapy in Melbourne

Neurological conditions affect movement, cognition, communication, sensation, fatigue and behaviour — often all at once. Neuro occupational therapy addresses the practical consequences of those changes and builds the skills, strategies and supports a person needs to live as independently and safely as possible.

Our Occupational Therapists have extensive experience supporting adults with cognitive, functional and neurological conditions, including those listed here.

NDIS Assessments

Functional Capacity Assessments in Melbourne

At inOne Healthcare, our experienced Community Occupational Therapists deliver comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) that go beyond diagnosis to understand how a person's disability impacts their everyday life. We take the time to assess an individual's strengths, challenges, goals, and support needs, providing clear, evidence-based recommendations that help participants maximise their independence and get the most out of their NDIS funding.

We assess how a person's condition affects daily activities such as personal care, mobility, household tasks, communication, community access, social participation, decision-making, memory, and safety. By understanding how a person functions in their real-world environments, we can identify the right supports to enhance participation, wellbeing, and quality of life.

What an FCA Involves

What a Functional Capacity Assessment involves

A home and community-based assessment in the participant's usual environment
Interview with the participant and, where appropriate, family, carers, support workers and support coordinators
Structured observation of daily tasks — self-care, domestic activities, mobility and transfers
Standardised and clinically validated assessment tools relevant to the person's condition
Review of existing reports, specialist correspondence and current supports
Assessment of cognition, communication, safety awareness and decision-making capacity
Analysis of the home environment, access, equipment and risk
Identification of the participant's goals and what is getting in the way of them
A detailed written report linking functional impact to recommended supports
NDIS Funding Recommendations

Evidence-Based Recommendations for NDIS Funding

A well-prepared Functional Capacity Assessment provides evidence-based recommendations that align with a participant's goals and support requirements. Recommendations may include:

Support worker assistance
Occupational therapy and allied health services
Assistive technology
Home modifications
Capacity building supports
Community participation supports
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation services

By clearly linking functional limitations to recommended supports, a Functional Capacity Assessment helps the NDIS understand the reasonable and necessary funding required to maximise independence, improve quality of life, and support meaningful participation in everyday activities.

How We Can Help

How We Can Help

Our Functional Capacity Assessments are person-centred, comprehensive, and focused on achieving practical outcomes. We work collaboratively with participants, families, carers, support coordinators, and healthcare professionals to develop a complete understanding of each person's needs and provide clear, professional recommendations that support successful NDIS outcomes.

Through detailed assessment, clinical expertise, and collaboration with participants, families, support coordinators, and care teams, we develop high-quality reports that clearly link functional impacts to NDIS support recommendations. Whether it's support workers, assistive technology, home modifications, therapy services, Supported Independent Living (SIL), or capacity-building supports, our reports provide the evidence needed to support funding decisions and help participants achieve their goals with confidence.

Children

In-Home NDIS Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Melbourne

Children learn skills where they use them. A child who can stack blocks neatly at a clinic table but cannot manage buttons at home before school has not yet solved the problem that matters to the family.

Our paediatric Occupational Therapists work with NDIS participants in their own home, and where funded at kindergarten, school and in the community. Seeing a child in their real environment means we can watch the actual morning routine, look at the actual bathroom, meet the actual siblings, and build strategies that fit the household rather than strategies that only work in a therapy room.

Who We Support

Who we support

Children with developmental delay
Autistic children and young people
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties
Children with sensory processing differences
Children with fine and gross motor difficulties, including developmental coordination disorder
Children with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions
Children with intellectual disability and genetic conditions
Children with handwriting and school participation difficulties
Children with feeding, dressing and self-care challenges
Children with emotional regulation and behaviour difficulties
What We Work On

What in-home paediatric occupational therapy works on

Self-care and independence — dressing, toileting, showering, shoelaces, cutlery use and getting out the door in the morning
Fine motor and hand skills — grasp, in-hand manipulation, scissor skills, handwriting and pencil control
Gross motor and coordination — balance, ball skills, motor planning, body awareness and playground participation
Sensory processing — understanding a child's sensory profile and building regulation strategies for home, school and community
Play and social participation — turn-taking, imaginative play, joining in and building friendships
Emotional regulation — recognising and managing big feelings, transitions and frustration tolerance
School and kinder participation — sitting, attending, following instructions, organisation and classroom strategies
Feeding and mealtimes — food exploration, mealtime routines and reducing mealtime stress
Sleep and daily routines — practical routine building for the whole household
Home set-up and equipment — bathroom, bedroom and play space modifications, seating, and assistive technology for children
Families, Kinders & Schools

Working with families, kinders and schools

Therapy that stays inside the session does not change much. We invest in the handover — parent coaching at the end of each visit, home programs that fit into a real family's week, written strategies for educators, and, where funded, kinder and school visits, team meetings and reports.

We also complete paediatric functional assessments, assistive technology and home modification assessments for children, and progress reports to support NDIS plan reviews.

Families who would prefer a clinic setting can be seen in-clinic at our Roxburgh Park location instead.

Aged Care

Aged Care Occupational Therapy in Melbourne

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 funded by the government regardless of income or assets — there is no means-tested contribution for occupational therapy.

For older Melburnians, our Occupational Therapists provide a full range of clinical and home safety services. We also work with residential aged care providers across Melbourne and accept private referrals.

Support at Home Providers & Self-Managed Clients

Our aged care OT services

Home safety and falls prevention assessments
Functional and activities of daily living assessments
Equipment and assistive technology prescription
Home modification assessment, recommendation and quoting
Pressure care, seating and positioning assessments
Cognitive and dementia-related functional assessments
Manual handling assessment and carer training
Reablement and restorative programs after hospital, illness or a fall
Reports and recommendations for care partners and providers

Funded Entitlement

Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme

AT-HM funding is separate from, and provided upfront of, the rest of a person's Support at Home budget. It exists specifically to pay for the equipment and modifications that keep people safely at home.

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. Our Melbourne Occupational Therapists assess the person and the property, document the clinical justification, specify exactly what is required, prepare the supporting report, and review the outcome once the equipment arrives or the work is complete.

Assessment & Prescription

Common AT-HM items we assess

Grab rails
Step and access ramps
Handrails to stairs
Level-access showers
Non-slip flooring
Widened doorways
Stair lifts
Hospital beds and pressure-relieving mattresses
Riser recliner chairs
Shower chairs and over-toilet frames
Wheelchairs and mobility aids
Transfer equipment and hoists
Falls alarms
