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.
This week our team has been busy behind the scenes learning and growing! 📚✨
Recently some of our therapists completed training through European Bedding, building their knowledge in sleep positioning and equipment to support safe, comfortable sleep.
We also had some therapists complete training in ‘Tuning in to Kids: Emotionally Intelligent Parenting’, strengthening their skills in supporting parents to respond to big feelings with confidence and connection.
We love continuing to learn so we can bring evidence based interventions and practical support to the families we work with 💛

At Evolve, occupational therapy isn’t just about the child sitting at the table, it’s about the whole family around them 🏡
We love taking a family-centred approach, supporting parents, involving siblings and building strategies that work in real life, not just in the session!
Meaningful progress can only happen when everyone feels confident and supported ✨

Wrapped up and regulated 💙
Sensory regulation looks different for every child but the sensory swing is one of our favourite tools to support it. The combination of deep pressure and gentle movement helps calm busy bodies, strengthen body awareness and build core stability.
When children feel regulated, they’re better able to focus, engage and learn 🌟

🍽️ Building confidence around food, one step at a time 🥦
Does your child struggle with eating, avoid certain foods, or feel overwhelmed at the table?
Our paediatric feeding therapy supports children and families to build comfort and confidence around food in a calm, pressure-free way.
We support children with:
• sensory sensitivities
• mealtime anxiety or distress
• limited food variety or fussy eating
• developmental or neurodivergent-related feeding challenges
Using play-based strategies, sensory exploration and family-centred support, we help make mealtimes more positive for everyone 🌟
