Local OT guide
Families in Belmore seek paediatric occupational therapy for many reasons. Children may need support with everyday activities like getting dressed, eating, writing, or playing. Some families are referred by their GP or school when a child shows difficulty with coordination, fine motor skills, sensory processing, or social participation. Others notice their child struggles with transitions, self-care routines, or keeping up with peers at school. An occupational therapist works with children to build confidence and independence in the activities that matter most to their family.
When looking for a paediatric occupational therapist in Belmore, it helps to know what to expect. Most clinics will start with an initial appointment where the therapist learns about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They may observe your child playing or completing tasks, and ask questions about home and school. From there, the therapist will discuss whether ongoing therapy might help and what that could look like. Sessions are typically one-on-one and may include play-based activities, practical strategies for home, or advice for school.
Many families access occupational therapy through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in New South Wales. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use your funding to pay for therapy sessions. Some clinics are registered NDIS providers, which can make the process straightforward. If you are unsure whether your child might be eligible for the NDIS, speaking with your GP is a good first step.
When assessing whether a clinic is right for your child, consider practical things like location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist has experience with your child's age or particular needs. It is worth asking about the therapist's approach and how they communicate progress with families. Some families prefer clinics close to home, while others are willing to travel to nearby suburbs like Campsie, Wiley Park, Punchbowl, Riverwood, or Strathfield if it means finding the right fit.

Wait times for paediatric OT in NSW vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services through your local health district may have longer wait lists, sometimes several months. Private practitioners in Belmore may have shorter wait times. It's worth contacting several providers to understand current availability. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP about the best pathway forward.
A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child during play and everyday activities. The therapist may ask about your child's strengths and what you'd like to work on. This helps them understand your child's needs and create a plan together with you. Bring any relevant health information or previous assessments.
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a support. Check your plan to see if OT is listed and what funding is available. You can choose a registered NDIS provider in Belmore or use your funding with a private therapist who accepts NDIS.

Paediatric OTs in Belmore generally support children with daily living skills, fine motor development, sensory needs, school readiness, and play skills.

Services vary between providers, so it's worth asking what each therapist specialises in to find the right fit for your child's needs.
You might consider OT if your child has difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, or writing, or if they struggle with coordination, fine motor skills, or sensory sensitivities.

NDIS funding
Understanding NDIS Funding for Paediatric Occupational Therapy in NSW
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy (OT) can be funded through it. Your plan type affects how you access services.
There are three plan types: self-managed (you manage funds directly), plan-managed (a plan manager handles payments), and NDIA-managed (the NDIA pays providers). Each works differently, so check your plan documents to see which applies to you.
Occupational therapy typically falls under the "Therapy and Supports" or "Core Supports" budget category in your plan. Your plan letter will show your allocated amount.
When choosing a clinic, contact them directly and ask: "Do you accept [your plan type]?" They'll confirm whether they're registered with the NDIS and can work with your funding arrangement.
If you're unsure about your plan details, contact the NDIA or your plan manager for clarification.
