Occupational Therapy in the Clinic, School and At Home
We understand that maintaining personal hygiene is important for individuals with disabilities, but using a standard shower may not be safe or feasible.
Our experienced Occupational Therapists are highly trained in equipment prescription, working closely with our supplier networks to ensure that we can prescribe the best shower equipment for your individual needs.
Our assessment includes a thorough evaluation of your mobility, transfer ability and risk of falls. Shower equipment prescription is appropriate for participants who have difficulties with standing or balancing, and those who require additional support to maintain their hygiene needs.
We offer our services to NDIS participants and private paying individuals, and our goal is to provide a prompt, professional and supportive service to help you improve your quality of life.
If you experience difficulty with maintaining balance, standing or sitting for extended periods, difficulty reaching certain body parts or have a history of falls, then you may benefit from assistive shower equipment.
The NDIS may fund a range of shower equipment including shower chairs, shower stools, shower commodes and over-toilet frames. The specific equipment will depend on your individual needs and functional goals.
Yes, the NDIS may fund customised shower equipment if it is deemed necessary to meet your specific functional needs.
No, a referral from a doctor is not required to access shower equipment through the NDIS. However, an Occupational Therapist can assist in assessing your needs and prescribing the appropriate equipment.
An Occupational Therapist can assess your needs, identify appropriate equipment and provide a report to support your application for funding. They can also assist with ordering and organising installation of the equipment.

📚 PD day with Sunrise Medical! 🌟
Recently some of the team attended Sunrise Medical’s professional development day, ‘How to Translate Adult Assessment Findings into Prescription’. The day was filled with valuable insights on bridging the gap between assessment findings and practical, client centered solutions.
They also had the opportunity to get hands on, trialling different wheelchairs and mobility equipment - a fantastic way to put learning into practice!
