Transforming spaces, transforming lives 💫

Check out this amazing before-and-after! 👀

With the help of our Occupational Therapy team, this ramp was installed to make our client’s home safer and more accessible, allowing them to move in and out with confidence and independence 💪

It’s a great example of how OTs look beyond the surface to find practical solutions that truly make a difference.

Stay tuned for more stories showing Occupational Therapy in Action! 💙

What does Occupational Therapy in Action look like? 👀

Sometimes it’s as simple as using a walker or a pick-up stick - everyday tools that support safety, independence, and confidence.

This OT Week, we’re celebrating the incredible work our OTs do every day to help people live life to the fullest - at home, at work, and in the community. 💙

Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more stories, tools, and moments that showcase Occupational Therapy in Action! 🙌

☀️ Ed’s City to Bay Round 3! ☀️

Two years ago, our amazing client Ed conquered the 3km City to Bay. Last year, he stepped it up and completed the 6km for the very first time at a fantastic time of 1 hour 54 minutes – and now he’s back to do it all again on September 21st!

Ed is once again aiming to raise money for Make-A-Wish Australia, a cause close to his heart. When he was 15, Make-A-Wish made his dream come true by helping him attend the Super Bowl and an NBA game in the US – and now he’s paying it forward.

Over the past months, Ed has been working hard with our Exercise Physiology team, gradually increasing his training sessions from 45 minutes to 60 and now 90 minutes, building his endurance and aerobic fitness. He’s already successfully completed 6km in training using his Rifton Pacer!

With support from his occupational therapist, physio, and speech pathologist, Ed has been smashing his goals and inspiring everyone around him. The whole MPOT team couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait to cheer him on to the finish line again! 🏁

✨ Celebrating 50 Years of Occupational Therapy ✨

This year, we’re honoured to celebrate Marilyn, the founder of MPOT, who has achieved an incredible 50 years as an occupational therapist 🎉

Marilyn’s journey began in the UK in 1975, where she came across a brochure for Occupational Therapy - and the rest, as they say, is history. She went on to work across the UK and Australia, eventually becoming the first private OT provider in Adelaide in 1983, and later founding MPOT in 1997.

Over her career, Marilyn has been recognised as an Officer of the Order of Australia, worked with countless clients to change lives, and built a service grounded in creativity, connection, and care.

When asked to reflect on her career, Marilyn shared:
💬 “The only limit in OT is your imagination.”
💬 “It has been beyond my wildest dreams.”

Her advice to new grads?
👉 Seek strong support.
👉 Believe in yourself.

Marilyn, thank you for inspiring us all, for your vision in founding MPOT, and for showing us just how far passion for people can take you. 💙

💬 Speech Pathology Week 2025 – Impact through Communication 💬

For Marielle, communication is more than speaking — it’s about connecting, sharing ideas, expressing emotions, and building relationships. It’s the very foundation of learning and participating in the world.

Here’s what she shared with us:
✨ The best part of the job? Seeing progress, no matter how small, and knowing she’s made a difference to someone’s quality of life.
✨ What she wishes more people knew? Speech pathology isn’t just about speech sounds — it includes swallowing, voice, cognition, social communication, language, and more. And it’s not just for kids — adults benefit too!
✨ A proud moment? Supporting a client with Parkinson’s through the LSVT program, and hearing how his family and friends celebrated the improvement in his voice.
✨ How does speech change lives? Regaining or discovering ways to communicate gives people independence, confidence, and connection — and reduces isolation.

That’s the impact of communication 💜

🌟 Speech Pathology Week 2025 🌟

This year’s theme is Impact through Communication — and that’s exactly what speech therapy is all about.

Meet Isabella 👋 She’s been working hard on her functional communication goals — from practicing her homework, to using her skills out in the community. Each step is about building confidence and independence, so she can connect, be heard, and participate fully in everyday life.

💬 Communication is more than just words — it’s about being able to share ideas, make choices, and be part of the world around you. That’s the impact of speech pathology.

💬 Speech Pathology Week 2025 – Impact through Communication 💬

For Abbey, communication means freedom — the freedom to express your thoughts and wishes, to have autonomy, to open doors and remove barriers.

Here’s what she shared with us:
✨ The best part of the job? Seeing her lovely clients every day ☀️☺️
✨ Something she wishes more people knew? Communication is a human right — not something optional.
✨ A proud moment? When a student shadowed her session and was able to understand everything her client said. A huge “Wow!” moment showing how far they had come.
✨ How does speech change lives? From small steps, like enjoying a coffee more comfortably, to big ones, like having autonomy, participating socially, and making decisions.

That’s the impact of communication 💜

💬 Speech Pathology Week 2025 – Impact through Communication 💬

For Stacey, our Speech Pathology Team Leader, communication is so much more than talking - it’s being understood, sharing feelings, enjoying inside jokes, and connecting with others in meaningful ways.

Here’s what she shared with us:
✨ The best part of the job? Our amazing clients, our team, and yes… the snack drawer!
✨ A common myth? We don’t just work on lisps and stutters. Speech pathology is about supporting safe swallowing, finding a voice after stroke, exploring AAC, building language, and so much more.
✨ A proud moment? Watching her speech team “smash goals” and hearing families and support workers celebrate the difference they’re making.
✨ How does speech change lives? Through growing independence, confidence, inclusion, connection, and empowerment.

That’s the impact of communication 💜
