Occupational therapy in Tyabb, by home visit. NDIS and Home Care Package support on the semi-rural Western Port side, on scheduled visit days.
Tyabb is semi-rural, and that changes the work in ways that are easy to underestimate. Properties are larger, driveways are long, and the distance between the house and the letterbox can itself be a mobility problem. Outbuildings, sheds and uneven ground feature in assessments here in a way they don't in the bayside suburbs.
The other Tyabb factor is distance from everything else. Services are further away, transport options are limited, and a lot of daily life depends on driving. When driving stops, the impact is larger here than it would be in Mornington.
Tyabb is visited on the Western Port run alongside Hastings and Somerville, on scheduled days rather than on demand.
NDIS-weighted, with practical, low-cost solutions preferred over major works.
Common requests: functional capacity assessments, daily living skills, community participation where loss of driving is the issue, equipment and minor modifications, and access improvements between house, driveway and outbuildings.
Mostly NDIS, with some Home Care Package work. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants. We are not able to take NDIA-managed plans.
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.
Tyabb sits on the Western Port run with Hastings and Somerville, visited on scheduled days.
Yes, usefully. Distance from the house to the car, uneven ground, gates and outbuildings all get looked at, because on a semi-rural block they're often more limiting than anything inside the house.
Out here, quite a lot — working out what can be done differently, what can be delivered, what transport genuinely exists, and how to keep the things that matter accessible. See community participation.
On the Western Port run, on scheduled days. Ask when you call and we'll tell you the next one rather than being vague about it.
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.
