Our Founder

About Louise

I graduated as an Occupational Therapist from the University of Newcastle in 2005. Since this time I have worked in rural NSW in a variety of roles including mental health, community health and in-patient acute wards.

Prior to becoming an OT I worked in a variety of roles with adults with disabilities. I have worked as an OT in the Gunnedah are for 10 years. I have a well established network with local providers and make it a high priority to work collaterality with the participant, their family and the team to ensure we can get the best outcomes for participants. I thoroughly enjoy working with participants and their families and problem solving to contribute to great outcomes.

Our Occupational Therapy services include:

• Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment and report

• Equipment prescription

• Manual handling assessment, intervention and education

• Home modifications

• Skin and pressure care assessments

We can also provide case management to assist with coordination and collaborating injury related needs with the aim of optimising great outcomes for participants.

Please note that we do not have a work cover provider and cannot assist with direct return to work requests.
