Multidisciplinary team
Our occupational therapists work alongside psychologists and speech pathologists so that every assessment reflects the full picture of how a person functions in daily life.
Neuro-affirming approach
We celebrate identity rather than focus on deficits. Every assessment honours your sensory needs, communication preferences, and lived experience throughout the process.
Real-world, practical insights
Our OT assessment reports translate findings into clear, useful strategies and recommendations for home, school, work, therapy, and funding applications.
What we do
A clear picture of how you function across daily life
At Moi Clinic, our occupational therapists conduct thorough, evidence-based assessments that examine how sensory processing, motor skills, and functional capacity affect daily participation across home, school, work, and community.
Our assessments are tailored to each person’s age, individual needs, and referral question. Findings are documented in a detailed written report with specific, practical recommendations that can inform therapy, funding applications, and support planning.
OT Assessment Types
Types of occupational therapy assessments at Moi Clinic
Our occupational therapists assess across a broad range of functional areas. Each assessment is tailored to the individual’s age, profile, and referral question, and results in a detailed written report with practical recommendations.
Sensory profile
Identifying sensory processing patterns and their impact on daily life.
Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)
a through evaluation of participation, support needs and the functional impact on a person’s capacity
Fine motor skills
Assessing fine motor coordination, hand skills and dexterity that support every day tasks, such as handwriting.
Gross motor skills
Assessing coordination, balance, and physical participation for all ages.

Evaluating the home environment for safety, accessibility, and independence.
Equipment prescription

Who we Assess
Occupational therapy assessments across every stage of life
Children
Functional and sensory difficulties identified early give families and schools the clinical documentation needed to put the right supports in place during the years that shape long-term outcomes.
Adults & Parents
Adolescence brings growing academic, social, and daily living pressures. A thorough OT assessment can identify what is driving difficulties and open access to adjustments and support at a critical stage.
Women & Girls
Many adults live with functional difficulties that have never been formally documented. A comprehensive assessment provides the clinical evidence needed to pursue the right support, adjustments, and funding.
Our Approach
We use gold-standard tools to build a genuinely useful clinical picture
Every occupational therapy assessment at Moi Clinic in Melbourne is conducted using internationally recognised, evidence-based instruments validated for use across different ages, presentations, and profiles. Our clinicians select tools based on each individual’s specific referral question and assessment needs.
Our assessments are never one-size-fits-all. The tools we use, the pace of the process, and the way findings are communicated are all tailored to the individual, ensuring the results are as accurate and meaningful as possible.
