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.
Resource of the Month: Barbie đź’…
Meet our trusty Barbie head! We love this one because it doesn’t ’feel’ like therapy. While our clients are busy channeling their inner hairdresser, they’re actually working on:
🪮 Practising hair brushing and grooming routines
đź’ˇ Sequencing and following steps
đź’Ş Fine motor and grip development
🤲 Bilateral hand coordination

Six years ago, Angela started Evolve with a simple goal: to provide high quality occupational therapy services that were practical, personalised and centred around the needs of each individual and family.
What began as one therapist and a small client base has grown into a team of 13, supporting children, adults and families across Perth.
Over the past six years, we’ve learnt a lot. We’ve grown in size, expanded our services and developed our knowledge and areas of expertise. While much has changed, the values that shaped Evolve from the beginning remain the same.
We remain passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence-based occupational therapy support that helps people participate more fully in the activities and roles that matter most to them.
We’re equally committed to creating a workplace where our team can continue to learn, grow and enjoy the work they do.
A belated celebration of Evolve’s 6th birthday, and a heartfelt thank you to our clients, families, referrers and team members who have been part of the journey.

• Bilateral coordination
• Motor planning

A fun, hands-on way to build the foundational skills needed for handwriting, self-care and classroom participation — all through play 🎮
