Let’s talk about what actually pays well in OT... because it’s probably not what you think.

The highest-earning OTs aren’t necessarily in management or running their own practices. They’re specialists with skills that have high expertise barriers and limited supply.

1️⃣Skill 1: Expert Report Writing Not just documentation, court-ready reports that withstand legal scrutiny. Medicolegal reports, complex case analysis, defensible clinical reasoning. This isn’t “good note-taking.” It’s evidence that holds up under cross-examination. Takes years to develop, pays significantly more than standard clinical documentation.

2️⃣Skill 2: Complex Home Modifications Designing accessible homes for people with significant disability. This isn’t just recommending a grab rail, it can involve reconfiguring bathrooms, widening doorways, designing wheelchair-accessible kitchens, and working alongside builders, certifiers and housing providers. These projects require a deep understanding of function, accessibility standards, and how people actually live in their homes. It’s highly specialised work that blends clinical reasoning with environmental design.

3️⃣Skill 3: Functional Assessment in Complex Presentations Brain injury, psychological injury, multi-system cases where subtle impairments create major functional impact. This requires advanced clinical reasoning, specialist knowledge, and the ability to translate complex presentations into clear functional evidence. High demand, limited supply.

Why These Skills Command Higher Rates: They’re not taught in uni. They take years to develop. Demand is high. Supply is limited. Basic supply and demand economics.
If you’re strategic about income growth, identify high-value skills and invest in developing them. Income follows expertise, but you need to build expertise first. There are no shortcuts, but there are strategic pathways.

🧁🐰 Last week our team held a Bake Off for Bunnies for Bravehearts, and what a sweet success it was! Our incredible bakers brought in some amazing goodies for the team to enjoy. All proceeds from our fundraiser went towards the Bunnies for Bravehearts project, supporting Bravehearts' specialist child sexual abuse counselling service. Through our donations, Bravehearts gifts a child in counselling with a plush bunny to bring them comfort on their healing journey. 💛 So proud of our amazing team!

✨ Meet Gabby – Our Community OT! 👋🏡
Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m a Community Occupational Therapist who loves combining creative problem-solving with evidence-informed practice to support people in participating fully and confidently in the activities that matter most to them. 🤝✨
I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy and bring experience from placements across acute care, community, and clinic based settings. During this time, I’ve worked with clients with complex needs, developing skills in functional assessment, goal setting, and delivering practical, client-centred interventions that support everyday independence.

I’m particularly interested in home modifications and assistive technology, drawing on my background in the building design industry. I’m currently completing a Diploma of Access Consulting, where I’m expanding my knowledge in accessible design, legislation, and how the built environment can better support safety, independence, and long-term outcomes. 🏡

I’m passionate about working collaboratively with clients and families, adapting my approach to meet people where they’re at, and supporting meaningful progress in a way that feels achievable and empowering. 🌱

I’m so excited to be part of MLEA and to continue growing as an OT while supporting clients to live more independently and confidently. ✨

Your home mod assessment might be missing more than you think.
Most of us were trained to look for hazards. Wet floors, loose rugs, poor lighting. And yes, all of that matters. But research into client experience tells a different story: when clients feel the process was done to them rather than with them, outcomes drop. Modifications don't get used. Satisfaction tanks.
The fix isn't more time. It's a better framework.
The 5 dimensions of home (personal, occupational, physical, temporal, social) give you a structure that captures risk AND what actually matters to the person living there.
Swipe through, save it, and take it to your next assessment.
Full breakdown on the blog. Link in bio.

Your body is already telling you how you feel. The trick is learning how to listen.

Interoception is our ability to detect internal body signals. Things like heart rate, muscle tension, that pit in your stomach feeling, or the warmth of calm. And it turns out, these signals are deeply connected to how we process and regulate our emotions.

When it's hard to pick up on those cues, identifying emotions becomes harder too. That's not a personal failing, it just means the connection between body and mind needs some targeted support.

At MLEA, our mental health OTs start right here. Understanding what YOUR emotions feel like in YOUR body is the foundation for everything that comes next.

Save this if interoception is new to you, or DM us to learn more.

Home modifications are one of the most powerful interventions in OT. But the evidence shows we might not be doing them justice.
Here's what a lot of OTs miss: home isn't just a safety checklist. It's where identity, independence, and daily life actually live. And when clients feel like modifications are done to them rather than with them, outcomes suffer.
The research is clear on what best practice actually looks like, and it goes well beyond the bathroom grab bar.
We just dropped a new blog covering the full picture: the evidence base, the client experience, the funding landscape, and practical strategies to strengthen your home mod assessments from the ground up.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Brisbane?

The MLEA Story

MLEA was founded in 2011 by respected Occupational Therapist, Vanessa Aitken. Her approach of impartiality under all circumstances and her 30+ years of clinical practice, quickly established her widespread reputation for high-quality expert clinical opinions, supporting fair settlements nationwide. As demand grew for her services, Vanessa added more specialists to the team. Covering everything from respiratory disease, to spinal injuries, to whiplash, infants to old age.

Understanding clients need 100% reliability from their assessment reports, Vanessa built a team of highly qualified clinicians. Our experts provide reliable clinical opinions to lawyers, insurers, NDIS, fund managers, trustees, and employers. Whether our opinion helps achieve a fair legal settlement, facilitates a disabled person's access to NDIS support, or enables an employer to recruit the right person for the job; you can rely on us for integrity, honesty and expertise.

We work closely with clients to understand their personal barriers and help them redefine what they are capable of. Our goal is to understand capability and expand capacity to help people live their best possible lives.

APPLYING FOR THE NDIS: Compliant with NDIS requirements, we can assist you to clearly define and measure the impact of your disability on your everyday life with evidence.
