A snapshot of what our Occupational Therapists have been up to this week…

Planning assessments, packing home visit bags, and spending focused time in the office completing reports.

One of the things we genuinely love about community-based OT is the diversity of the role. No two days look the same.

Some days are spent:

Out on the road visiting participants in their homes and communities

Completing functional assessments and equipment reviews

Collaborating with families, support teams, and funders

And other days are:

Careful report writing

Clinical planning and goal setting

Reviewing progress and outcomes

Preparing thoroughly for upcoming visits

That balance is essential!

Quality reports, thoughtful planning, and strong clinical reasoning behind the scenes are just as important as the time spent face-to-face with participants.

It is this mix of community work and dedicated office time that allows our team to deliver practical, personalised, and evidence-informed recommendations.

We truly value the diversity of our roles — and the opportunity to support participants both on the road and behind the scenes.

Some mornings start a little earlier than others… and this was one of them.

Our Clinical Nurse Consultant was up at sunrise to support a participant with a bowel care review, at their usual routine time.

In spinal cord injury and other complex conditions, timing matters.
Reviewing bowel care during the participant’s actual routine gives a far more accurate and meaningful assessment. It helps us understand:

What is really working well

Where delays or difficulties are occurring

How the environment and supports impact the process

What small changes could make a big difference to independence and comfort

This is why flexibility in community-based care is so important.

Early mornings, home visits, and real-life routines allow us to provide practical, tailored recommendations that genuinely improve outcomes.

And as a bonus… you sometimes get to watch the sun come up over regional NSW.

A quiet reminder of why we love working in our communities.

Multidisciplinary teams create better outcomes.

At Focus on Function, no one discipline works in isolation.

Our Occupational Therapists work alongside nursing, physiotherapy, dietetics and case management to deliver coordinated, whole-person care across personal injury and selected NDIS participants.

The result?

• Stronger clinical decision-making
• Better pain and function outcomes
• Shared responsibility in complex cases
• Real professional support
• Genuine career growth in personal injury management

As our personal injury portfolio continues to grow, we are recruiting our next Occupational Therapist to join the team in Tamworth.

If you are looking for diverse, meaningful work within a structured and supportive multidisciplinary environment, we would love to hear from you.

What does an Occupational Therapist actually do in the community?

Here’s a short snapshot of the diverse and meaningful work our OT team provides every day across regional NSW.

At Focus on Function, our Occupational Therapists support adults with complex injuries and disabilities to live safely, independently and with greater confidence at home and in the community.

Our OT services include:

Assistive technology assessment and prescription

Home modifications to improve safety and accessibility

Capacity building and skill development for daily living

Pressure care reviews and equipment recommendations

Activities of Daily Living assessments

Collaboration with families, support workers and care teams

Many of the people we support are living with spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and other complex conditions, requiring highly individualised and practical solutions in real home environments.

We love the variety of community-based OT work — from problem solving in the home, to equipment trials, to supporting long-term independence and quality of life.

This is the kind of hands-on, meaningful occupational therapy that truly makes a difference.

OTs – what if work actually fit around your life?

We’re hiring an Occupational Therapist to join Focus on Function in Gunnedah, Tamworth or Armidale.
Part-time or full-time — flexible options available.

You’ll be working in the community with people who have varying injuries, with a reduced NDIS caseload, and exposure to personal injury schemes such as iCare, CTP and Workers Care.

We don’t do return-to-work services.
Instead, we work alongside return-to-work providers, focusing on treatment, rehabilitation and injury-related functional needs.

At Focus on Function, we trust our clinicians to:

Manage their own diaries

Work to their strengths

Balance great clinical work with life outside of work

You’ll be supported by an experienced team, strong systems and templates, and admin that genuinely helps.

If you’re an OT looking for autonomy, support and work that feels sustainable, this could be worth a look.

We also offer ‘Come & Try’ days — no obligation, just come and see what we’re about.
