Supporting people to participate in the activities that matter most
Through collaboration and personalised support, occupational therapy can help you and your family develop new skills, adapt your environment, and find practical solutions that support participation in daily activities, at home, at school, at work, and in the community.
At Moi Clinic, we provide neuro-affirming, person- and family-centred occupational therapy assessment and intervention for all ages. Clients can attend privately, under a mental health care plan or through NDIS.
What we help
Supporting greater independence, confidence, and quality of life
Our occupational therapists support people across a broad range of presentations and needs. If any of the following are affecting daily life, work, school, or independence, our team can help.
Daily living skills
Developing independence in eating, dressing, bathing, personal care, household tasks, and everyday routines. Our therapists work with you to build the skills and routines that support confidence and independence in everyday life.
Motor skills
Differences in fine and gross motor skills can affect handwriting, coordination, balance and physical activity. Targeted OT intervention builds strength, precision, and function across daily tasks, school, and leisure.
Sensory processing
Sensory differences affect a person’s comfort, safety, regulation and participation in daily activities. We explore sensory preferences and responses to develop practical strategies to support the person to regulate and engage in everyday activities.
Education and classroom participation
Difficulties keeping up in the classroom, managing transitions, sustaining attention, completing written tasks, or organisation and task completion. OT supports academic participation and builds the skills needed for learning and independence at school.
Play and social participation
Challenges engaging in play, forming peer relationships, or participating in group activities. Social participation is central to development and wellbeing at every age.
Home adaptations and equipment
Where functional limitations affect safety or independence at home, our therapists assess the need for assistive equipment and/or equipment, home modifications and provide recommendations to support safety, access, independence, and daily living.
Executive functioning
Challenges with planning, organisation, task initiation, working memory and completing every day tasks. OT’s can support the development of practical strategies, routines and environmental supports to make everyday tasks and activities more manageable.
Community participation
Challenges with accessing the community, catching public transport, attending appointments, managing shopping or attending community events.
Who we help
Occupational therapy across every stage of life
Children
Identifying and addressing functional difficulties early gives children the skills they need to engage with school, play, and daily life during the years that shape long-term outcomes.
Adolescents
OT supports teenagers to develop the organisation, regulation, and independence skills needed for school, relationships, and life beyond the classroom.
Adults & Parents
Our occupational therapists work with adults and parents to build practical strategies that improve daily functioning, independence, and quality of life.

Our Approach
Occupational therapy grounded in identity, not deficits
At Moi Clinic, we are genuinely curious about each person’s unique profile, what matters to them, what gets in the way, and what support will make a meaningful difference in their daily life. Our approach is built around the person, not the diagnosis.
Our focus is always on participation, not performance. We work collaboratively with each person, their family, and their broader support network to ensure therapy goals are meaningful, achievable, and directly connected to the life they want to live.
