NDIS Occupational Therapy and Behaviour Support in Brisbane

Community-based occupational therapy and specialist behaviour support across Greater Brisbane.

People Centred Therapies provides individualised NDIS services that focus on practical change in everyday life.

Our occupational therapists and behaviour support practitioners work with participants across Greater Brisbane, providing assessment, intervention, capacity building, behaviour support, training, and ongoing clinical support based on each person’s goals, circumstances, and support needs.

NDIS Services Across Greater Brisbane

PCT provides occupational therapy and specialist behaviour support throughout the Greater Brisbane region. Services may involve assessment, direct intervention, consultation, training, reporting, or a combination of supports depending on the participant’s needs.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists assess everyday function and work with participants to develop practical skills, routines, strategies, and supports that increase participation and independence.

Services include capacity-building occupational therapy, Functional Capacity Assessments, Home and Living Assessments, assistive technology, sensory assessments, OT driving assessments, and outcomes reporting.

Specialist Behaviour Support

Our behaviour support practitioners work to understand the factors influencing behaviour and develop positive, practical strategies that improve quality of life, build skills, reduce risk, and support meaningful participation.

Services may include Functional Behaviour Assessments, interim and comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans, implementation support, training, restrictive practice review, and ongoing behaviour support intervention.

Assessment, Intervention, and Capacity Building in Brisbane

PCT provides more than assessment and reporting. Our clinicians use assessment findings to guide practical intervention and support meaningful change within the participant’s everyday life.

Occupational therapy may involve building personal care, domestic, community, education, employment, self-management, and independent living skills. Where assessment is required, our occupational therapists can also evaluate functional capacity, home and living needs, sensory processing, assistive technology requirements, and driving capacity.

Specialist behaviour support may involve understanding behaviours of concern, identifying their function, developing proactive and responsive strategies, building replacement skills, supporting implementation of Behaviour Support Plans, and helping families and support teams apply strategies consistently.

Assessment helps us understand what is happening. Intervention puts that information into practice.

Support in Everyday Environments

Where clinically appropriate, PCT provides services within the environments where participants live, learn, work, and participate.

Appointments across Greater Brisbane may take place in:

  • The participant’s home

  • Community environments

  • Supported living environments

  • Education settings

  • Employment or vocational settings

  • Other relevant everyday environments

  • Telehealth, where appropriate

Working within relevant environments can help clinicians understand the activities, barriers, routines, supports, and environmental factors affecting the participant in everyday life.

Practical Support That Reflects Real Life

A participant’s needs cannot always be understood through a clinic appointment alone.

The physical environment, daily routines, communication demands, sensory experiences, available supports, relationships, and expectations within an activity can all influence how successfully a person participates.

PCT considers these factors when assessing needs, developing strategies, teaching skills, and making recommendations. Our aim is for supports to be practical, individualised, and relevant beyond the therapy appointment itself.
