NDIS and Home Care Package occupational therapy in Mornington, delivered by home visit. Functional capacity assessments, home modifications, equipment and daily living support from an OT who lives on the Peninsula.
Mornington is the Peninsula's health services hub, which means it is also the one suburb where you have real choice about who you see. It is worth knowing what makes providers different rather than picking the first one with availability.
Peninsula Pathways is a sole practitioner. The person who does your assessment writes your report and is still your therapist in six months. There is no intake team, no allocation queue, and no handover between an assessor and a treating therapist.
Practically, Mornington is the easiest part of the service area to schedule. It's central, it's close, and visits here can usually be fitted in without waiting for a run of southern Peninsula appointments to line up. If timing matters — a plan review date, a hospital discharge, a package that has just come through — Mornington is where we can move fastest.
We visit private homes, retirement villages and independent living units across Mornington, including the Tanti Avenue and Bentons Road areas and the newer estates toward Mount Martha.
Mornington sends us the broadest mix of work on the Peninsula, because it has both the largest NDIS population north of Rosebud and a high concentration of retirement and independent living.
From NDIS participants: functional capacity assessments ahead of plan reviews, assistive technology prescription, and capacity building work on daily living and community participation.
From Home Care Package recipients and retirement village residents: falls prevention, bathroom safety, equipment for transfers and showering, and minor home modifications.
Mornington has both markets in volume. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants here. We are not able to take NDIA-managed plans.
Aged care work is a significant part of what we do in Mornington, particularly in the retirement villages and independent living units. Occupational therapy is funded as a clinical support under Support at Home — see how that works.
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.
Mornington is fifteen minutes from home, which is why appointments here can usually be offered sooner than anywhere else on the Peninsula.
Mornington is the quickest part of the service area to schedule because visits here don't need to be batched with a run of southern appointments. The current wait for a first appointment is one to two weeks — the referrals page keeps it current.
Yes. We visit residents in retirement villages and independent living units across Mornington, usually funded through a Home Care Package. Village management doesn't need to arrange it — the resident or their case manager can contact us directly.
Ask us. Residential aged care sits outside the usual home-visit arrangement, so it depends on the facility and what is being asked for.
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.
