What is DVA occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy helps veterans manage everyday activities with greater safety, comfort and independence.
This may include getting around the home, showering, dressing, preparing meals, managing fatigue, using equipment, reducing falls risk, accessing the community or adapting routines after injury, illness or changes in health.
Support should feel practical, respectful and easy to understand.
We do not overwhelm you with unnecessary information.
We focus on clear recommendations, safer daily routines and useful supports that fit your home, health needs and goals.
How we can help
DVA OT support can look different depending on your goals, home environment, mobility, health and referral pathway.
Assessment and recommendations for changes that may improve safety, access and independence at home.
This may include grab rails, handrails, ramps, bathroom access, non-slip surfaces and other practical home safety changes.
Support to trial, prescribe and justify equipment that may make daily life safer and easier.
This may include shower chairs, toilet aids, mobility aids, pressure cushions, transfer equipment and daily living aids.
Strategies to support personal care, mobility, movement, home tasks, routines and participation in meaningful activities.
The goal is to make everyday tasks safer, clearer and more manageable.
Support with routines, confidence, motivation, stress, community access and daily function when mental health affects everyday life.
Therapy is shaped around what matters to you and what feels realistic right now.
Clear reports for your GP or support team when required by your DVA pathway.
Reports may include progress, barriers, goals, therapy outcomes and future support recommendations.
Our sister company, Simply Nutrition Dietitians, can support you with nutrition and health-related goals.
