Hands-on learning. Real equipment. Actual care environments.

This is what sets Movementum’s in-person training apart.

No tick-box compliance sessions or generic presentations. You’re actively problem-solving alongside an experienced occupational therapist, practising techniques and getting immediate guidance that addresses your specific care situations.

Our sessions are tailored to your team, your policies, the types of care you actually provide. Complex transfers? Challenging scenarios you’re facing? We work through them together, building confidence through doing, not just watching.

Support workers consistently tell us they leave with skills they can use straight away. Care organisations see genuine capability building, not just training completion certificates.

Whether you’re building your team’s moving and handling skills, seeking practical guidance as a support worker, or needing training that goes beyond the basics—our in-person sessions create space for genuine skill development.

Training that respects your intelligence, acknowledges the complexity of care work, and leaves you genuinely more confident.

Meet Natasha Nutt — the OT and founder behind everything Movementum creates.

Years of working in complex care, equipment prescription and moving and handling have given Natasha deep knowledge in what makes care both safe and dignified. But what really sets her approach apart? Genuine commitment to supporting both the people receiving care and those providing it.

Movementum reflects Natasha’s belief that great care shouldn’t be complicated or compromised. With the right training, resources and support, care providers can build genuine confidence in their practice.

Whether she’s delivering hands-on training, consulting on complex care situations, or developing resources that make moving and handling clearer—Natasha’s focus stays the same. Empowering people to provide safe, quality care without burnout or guesswork.

That’s the energy that built Movementum, and it’s what continues to shape everything we offer.

Training doesn’t end when the session finishes.

Every guide, every checklist, every piece of documentation we create is designed with one goal — giving you practical knowledge that translates to real care environments.

Our approach to resources is intentional:
> Educate without overwhelming
> Demonstrate without patronising
> Leave you with information you can actually apply

Whether you’re a support worker navigating a tricky transfer, a care coordinator reviewing procedures, or a family member learning how to support someone at home — our resources give you the foundation to make informed decisions.

Because quality care shouldn’t require guesswork. You deserve clear, practical guidance from experienced occupational therapists who understand what actually works.

What started as clinical OT practice has grown into something we’re genuinely proud of.

Movementum is now the go-to resource for care organisations and support workers across NSW who need moving and handling training that actually works in real care environments. Not theory-heavy sessions that don’t translate, but practical guidance you can use straight away.

Our new brand reflects this evolution. Training that builds genuine confidence. Consultation that solves complex care challenges. Resources that support you beyond the session. Clinical services when specialist OT input matters.

Whether you’re a care organisation building capability, a support worker wanting practical skills, or a family navigating complex care at home—we’re here with OT-led support that makes a genuine difference.

Safe work, quality care. That’s what drives everything we create.

Something new is taking shape at Movementum.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll notice our brand evolving to better reflect who we’ve become and where we’re headed. This isn’t about changing what we do; it’s about clearly showing the breadth of moving and handling training, resources and consultation we now offer across NSW.

Our commitment remains the same—safe work, quality care for everyone involved in the care journey. What’s changing is how we share that with you, making our training more accessible and our support more comprehensive.

We’re building something that genuinely serves care providers, support workers, families and therapists who need practical, OT-led moving and handling guidance.

Stay tuned. We’re excited to share what’s next.

Do experienced support workers really need manual handling refresher training?

Yes—absolutely. Here’s why:
✔️ Client needs and routines evolve
✔️ Shortcuts and habits creep in
✔️ What was “fine” 18 months ago may not be safe today

In our most recent session, every attendee—seasoned professionals—walked away with something new.

When we treat training as continuous, not one-off, we protect safety and confidence.

✨ What’s for dinner tonight? A side of stardom, apparently!
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the JBC crew for their refresher manual handling training yesterday — but this session came with a twist…

👩‍🍳⭐ Turns out, I had not one, but TWO celebrities in the group — featured in the brand new JBC Recipe Book! When they surprised me with a copy, I did what any excited fan would do… I asked for their autographs. 🙌

This cookbook is packed with heart, flavour, and creativity — just like the amazing support workers who contributed to it. Can't wait to test out these recipes at home! 🍝🥗🍪
