Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy for Kids, Adolescents and Adults on the Gold Coast
Supporting you to live your best life.
Occupational therapy helps people take part in the daily activities or “occupations” that matter most to them. This might mean supporting a child to play, learn, and develop life skills, helping an adult manage work or community roles, or assisting an older person to stay safe and independent at home. At QPAH, our occupational therapists provide practical, strengths-based support for people of all ages.

People we work with
Who we support
Children and Adolescents
We work with children to develop skills in play, learning, self-care, and social participation. Therapy may focus on fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, attention and regulation, or building independence in everyday routines.
Adults
Our OTs assist adults living with disability, mental health challenges, or recovering from injury or illness. We support people to engage in study, work, leisure, and community life, while developing the skills and strategies that matter most to them.
Older Adults
For older people, occupational therapy supports safety, mobility, and independence at home or in care. We also offer functional capacity assessments, assist with equipment and home modifications, and provide strategies for living well with dementia, stroke, or other neurological conditions.
OUR APPROACH
Multidisciplinary support, tailored to you
At QPAH, our occupational therapists take time to listen and understand what’s important to each person and their family. Therapy is collaborative, goal-driven, and evidence-based, with a focus on practical strategies that can be used in daily life. We often work as part of a team with speech pathologists, music therapists, and other professionals to provide holistic, interprofessional care.
Occupational therapy is available:
- In homes or via telehealth
- In our Southport and Varsity Lakes clinics
- In schools, kindergartens, and early childhood centres
