In-Home Occupational Therapy for Older Western Sydney Residents

inOne Healthcare's Community Occupational Therapists visit people at home from Parramatta to Penrith and across the south-west growth corridor. We work with older Australians receiving aged care funding, their families, carers and aged care providers, with a focus on falls prevention, home safety, equipment prescription and home modifications funded through the AT-HM scheme.

Most of the things that force an older person out of their home are practical. A step at the front door. A shower without a rail. A bed that is too low to stand up from. A kitchen that has quietly become unsafe. An occupational therapist's job is to find those risks before they become a fall, a hospital admission or a permanent move — and to fix them.

Our Western Sydney Occupational Therapists assess people in their actual home, not a clinic room. We watch how someone genuinely gets out of bed, into the shower, along the hallway and out to the car, and we build recommendations around what we see. That means practical, funded solutions: the right equipment, the right modifications, the right techniques, and the right amount of support.

What We Do

How Our Western Sydney 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 services are fully funded by the government, regardless of income or assets — there is no means-tested contribution for occupational therapy.

AT-HM Scheme Assessments

The AT-HM scheme provides funding for equipment and home modifications that is separate from, and upfront of, the rest of a person's Support at Home budget. It is one of the most under-used entitlements in aged care, largely because people do not know it exists.

Falls Prevention & Home Safety

A fall is rarely caused by one thing. It is 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.

Reablement After Hospital

Coming home after a hospital admission is the point at which many older people lose independence permanently. Early occupational therapy makes a measurable difference.

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

That makes OT one of the most accessible and most useful services in an older person's Support at Home budget. Our Western Sydney Occupational Therapists provide a full range of clinical and home safety services. We also work with residential aged care providers across Western Sydney, and accept private referrals from people who would rather not wait for funding to be approved.

Funded Entitlement

Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme

The AT-HM scheme provides funding for equipment and home modifications that is separate from, and upfront of, the rest of a person's Support at Home budget. It is one of the most under-used entitlements in aged care, largely because people do not know it exists.

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

More complex equipment and any home modification generally require assessment and prescription by a health professional — usually an occupational therapist. That is where we come in.

Our Occupational Therapists complete the assessment, document the clinical justification, specify exactly what is required, and prepare the report needed to support the funding request — then review the outcome once the equipment arrives or the work is complete, to make sure it actually works for the person.

Keeping You Safe at Home

Falls Prevention, Reablement & Cognitive Support

Home Safety

Falls Prevention & Home Safety

A fall is rarely caused by one thing. It is 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 look at the whole picture — the person, the task and the environment — and produce a plan that addresses all three. That may include equipment, modifications, changes to how a task is done, referral to physiotherapy for strength and balance work, education for family, or a change to the support schedule.

After Hospital

After Hospital: Reablement and Restorative Care

Coming home after a hospital admission is the point at which many older people lose independence permanently. Early occupational therapy makes a measurable difference.

We provide short-term, goal-focused reablement following hospital discharge, illness, surgery or a fall — rebuilding confidence and function in showering, dressing, meal preparation, mobility and community access, and putting the right equipment in place before problems set in. We welcome referrals from Westmead, Blacktown, Nepean and Liverpool discharge planners, transition care teams and aged care providers.

Cognitive Change

Living Well with Dementia and Cognitive Change

Cognitive change affects daily function long before it affects memory alone. Our Occupational Therapists assess how dementia, mild cognitive impairment, stroke or other conditions are affecting safety, routine, decision-making and daily activity, and provide:

  • Environmental modifications that reduce confusion and risk
  • Simplified routines and task set-ups that support independence
  • Kitchen, medication and wandering safety strategies
  • Meaningful activity and engagement planning
  • Practical education and strategies for family and carers
  • Recommendations for the level and type of support required
