At Equalence, we recognise the importance of personal service, whether you have just started your health journey or you just need some extra support to access the health care system.

Occupational therapy is a profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation (or, in other words, "how you spend your time"). 

The goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in their activities of daily life. This might include finding ways to help you become more safe and independent with: 

• moving around your home
• accessing your community
• completing personal and household chores
• overcoming education or workplace barriers due to disability

We might do this by:

• modifying the environment
• prescribing specialised equipment
• modifying the task
• teaching new techniques

An OT can also work closely with family, friends, care services or other people in your life to help you achieve your goals.

Your health care professional should be experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about helping you achieve your goals. Based in Wollongong and with each clinician having over 15 years of experience in the health care system, you can be sure that Equalence can expertly guide you through your health care journey.
