An NDIS provider in Frankston working by home visit, with young people from around nine and with adults. Functional capacity assessments, daily living skills and the reports your plan review needs.
Frankston has the largest NDIS participant population in the region, and it is the northern edge of our travel range. That matters for two reasons: appointments here are straightforward to schedule, and we are honest that we do not go further north than this.
Frankston skews young. More NDIS participants than Home Care Package recipients, more capacity building than falls prevention, and a lot of families with a teenager in the house. Young people between about nine and seventeen are the group we see most across the whole practice, and Frankston is where most of them live.
Searching for an “NDIS provider in Frankston” turns up mostly clinics with a waiting room. We are the other kind: one therapist who comes to the house, sees the routines as they actually happen, and writes the report herself.
Housing here is varied — from the older weatherboard stock around the CBD and Frankston North to newer townhouses and units. Modification requests tend to be bathroom access and step ramps rather than the two-storey stair problems we see in Mount Eliza.
Frankston Hospital and the allied health corridor around it means many people here already have a team. We work alongside psychologists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and DES providers rather than duplicating them.
Frankston work skews toward capacity building and psychosocial support rather than aged care.
Functional capacity assessments for plan reviews are the most common single request. After that: daily living skills for people building independence, mental health and psychosocial OT alongside an existing psychologist, work readiness for school leavers and people returning to work, and community participation where transport is the barrier.
A large share of it is young people. Autistic teenagers working on sensory self-management, showers and mornings that stop being a daily argument, catching the bus alone, a first part-time job, and the reports that keep the funding in place while they get there. See occupational therapy for young people and teenagers.
Frankston is predominantly NDIS territory. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants. We are not able to take NDIA-managed plans.
Home Care Package work happens here too, particularly in Frankston South, and is funded the same way as anywhere else — see OT under a package.
Peninsula Pathways is a sole-practitioner practice. Louise is an AHPRA-registered occupational therapist, Peninsula-born and based, working across the NDIS and aged care systems.
Frankston is the northern boundary of the service area. Visits here are easy to schedule; anything further north we will tell you honestly is outside our range.
Yes, for self-managed and plan-managed participants. We are not NDIS registered, which means we cannot work with NDIA-managed plans — worth checking before you go further, because it is the most common reason a Frankston referral cannot proceed.
Yes, and they are the largest group we see. Most are between nine and seventeen. Sessions happen at home, which matters at that age because the goals are usually about routines, independence and getting out into the community rather than clinic-based skill practice.
Yes, both, along with Karingal and Langwarrin on request. Frankston is the northern edge of the service area and we do not travel beyond it.
Yes, and most Frankston referrals come that way. Coordinators can use the form on the referrals page, which also shows current capacity so you know before you refer.
Discharge work is time-critical, so ring rather than email and give us the discharge date at the first call. We'll tell you within 24 hours whether we can turn it around in time.
Yes, Australia-wide. Telehealth suits review sessions, coaching and planning work. Anything that depends on seeing the space — home modifications, falls risk, equipment fit — needs a home visit.
No. NDIS participants need occupational therapy funding in their plan; Home Care Package recipients can have it arranged by their case manager or contact us directly. Neither route requires a GP referral.
