A mobile occupational therapist comes to you in the place where support matters most.
At JC Care, our OTs visit clients where they’re needed: home, aged care, SIL or SDA, schools, and community centres. This means there is no clinic to travel to, no waiting room, and no need to move a loved one who is frail, recovering or finding it hard to get out.

We work with people who want to stay safe, capable and independent in their own homes, and with the family members and professionals who help arrange that support.
If occupational therapy is in your NDIS plan, a mobile OT can help you get more out of it without the trip to a clinic. We come to your home, work toward the capacity-building goals in your plan, and put practical supports in place, whether that is equipment, a home modification, or new ways to manage daily tasks with more confidence. We work with self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed participants, and we provide the assessments and reports your plan needs along the way.
For participants living in supported independent living or specialist disability accommodation, we visit you where you are. Our mobile OTs assess how the space and your daily routines actually work for you, recommend equipment and modifications that fit the setting, and coordinate with your support workers and providers so everyone is working toward the same goals. Familiar surroundings, the same OT each visit, and support shaped around how you really live.
For children and young people with a disability, we bring occupational therapy into the home, school or community centre where they are most comfortable. Working in familiar surroundings, and often through activities that feel more like play than therapy, we support fine and gross motor skills, everyday independence, and the goals set out in the plan. We keep families closely involved, so the progress made in a session carries on between visits.
If you are worried about a parent’s falls risk, a partner’s recovery after surgery, or whether the home is still safe for someone you love, a mobile OT can come and see for themselves. We assess the real environment, make practical recommendations, and give you the reassurance of knowing an expert has looked at the whole picture.
We make referrals simple. We accept the major funding types, cover metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and provide the assessments and reports you need to move a plan forward.
We welcome DVA clients holding Gold or White cards and can provide home assessments, equipment and aids advice, and rehabilitation support funded through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
If you are recovering from a workplace injury, a mobile OT can help you get back to daily life and work without the trip to a clinic. We assess how you manage at home and, where relevant, the demands of your role, recommend equipment or modifications that support your recovery, and provide the assessments and reports your claim requires. We work with WorkCover and insurers, and coordinate with your case manager so everyone is moving toward the same return-to-work goals.
You do not have to wait for funding to be approved. If you have extras cover, many funds offer rebates for occupational therapy, and you are always welcome to pay privately to keep things simple. Booking directly means we can get to you sooner, assess your home, and put practical supports in place without the paperwork of a funded pathway. Get in touch and we will explain what to expect before your first visit.
You do not need to go through anyone else. If you know you would benefit from an occupational therapist home visit, you can contact us directly and we will guide you through the options.
JC Care Services accepts NDIS, WorkCover, and Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA), Medicare, and Private Health Insurance (or out of pocket) patients for mobile occupational therapy.
An occupational therapist home visit is not just more convenient. For most of the people we help, it is genuinely the better way to work.
We assess the real environment. You cannot judge bathroom safety, kitchen access or falls risk from a clinic chair. Seeing the actual home, the real doorways, steps and daily routines, is what makes our recommendations accurate and useful.
We remove the travel barrier. Frailty, recovery, mobility limits, no driver in the household, or simply the stress of an outing can all make getting to a clinic hard. A home visit means the people who need help most are not left going without it.
Our recommendations fit first time. When we prescribe a grab rail, a ramp, a shower stool or a change to the bedroom, we have measured the space and watched the person move through it, so the solution suits the home from day one.
Families get peace of mind. Our mobile OTs often notice risks that those closest to a person have stopped seeing. A home visit confirms whether a loved one is safe where they live, and sets out clear steps if they are not.
Every visit is tailored to the person, but most follow a simple shape:
We work across the major funding streams, so most people are covered:
Not sure which applies to you or your client? Get in touch and we will help you work it out.
Our mobile OTs cover metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
When an in-person visit is not needed or not practical, we also offer occupational therapy by telehealth. Video sessions can be a good fit for follow-up appointments, reviews, coaching and strategy sessions, and for staying connected between home visits. Telehealth is also useful for reaching clients in regional areas, or for families and carers who want to be part of a session from a different location.
Telehealth works best alongside our home visits rather than instead of them. Some things, like a falls risk or home safety assessment, need our OT to be in the space to get it right, so we will always recommend a home visit where that is the better option.
Whether you are arranging support for someone in your care or reaching out for yourself, booking an OT home visit with JC Care Services is straightforward. Contact our team and we will match you with a mobile occupational therapist and organise a visit that suits.
A mobile OT, or mobile occupational therapist, provides the same expert assessment and support as a clinic-based OT, but in your own home. This includes falls prevention, home safety assessments, equipment prescription, home modification advice, and rehabilitation support.
You can contact us directly, or a support coordinator, case manager, GP or family member can arrange it on your behalf. We will confirm funding, find a suitable time, and come to you.
We work with NDIS, DVA, workers compensation, CHSP, Medicare care plan referrals, and private clients. If you are unsure, ask us and we will help.
We provide mobile occupational therapist home visits across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
