Practice Specialty
What is Mental Health Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy centres on supporting health and well-being through everyday activities, referred to as "occupations." These activities include the daily tasks people participate in within their families and communities to create meaning and purpose in their lives.
The core aim of Occupational Therapy is helping people take part in activities they want, need, or are expected to do in their daily lives. Occupational Therapists focus on understanding each person's individual goals, asking "What matters to you?" instead of "What's the matter with you?"
In mental health occupational therapy, practitioners use a variety of specialised tools and structured psychological approaches. They're trained to work with individuals experiencing mental illness (psychosocial disability), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Intellectual Disability (ID) by developing their skills for independent participation in everyday activities.
NDIS support workers offer daily support, emotional steadiness, and care that helps you feel seen and supported. Learn more about them and what they do in this blog.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mental health therapy and occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy supports people in building the skills and strategies required to manage daily activities and participate in life, typically focusing on physical, developmental, or functional challenges.
Mental health occupational therapy applies these same principles within the context of mental illness, using evidence-based practice to support recovery and wellbeing. It supports people in developing routines, building confidence, strengthening coping strategies, and participating in meaningful activities such as self-care, work, study, and social or community life.
What does an OT do for mental health?
A mental health occupational therapist collaborates with individuals to develop everyday living skills and participation in human occupation, supporting them to manage routines, strengthen mood, and build confidence. They offer strategies for managing stress, creating social connections, boosting motivation, and supporting overall well-being.
Can NDIS fund mental health OT?
Yes, mental health OT can receive funding under the NDIS when it's included in your plan. It may be covered under Capacity Building or Core Supports, based on your specific goals. Our therapists use evidence based interventions to confirm the support provided aligns with your plan outcomes and personal goals.
Do you provide Functional Capacity Assessments?
Yes, PotentialMe's mental health occupational therapists conduct Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA). These reports are frequently requested by the NDIS to inform planning, funding, and review processes.
What conditions do you support?
Our experienced team at PotentialMe works with individuals experiencing psychosocial disability (mental illness), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Intellectual Disability (ID). We also support participants facing challenges in areas such as motivation, daily living, and emotional regulation to help them live a more fulfilling life.
How are sessions delivered?
Our services are mobile. We visit you at home or in the community across Noble Park and surrounding regions at a time that suits you.
How often will I see my occupational therapist?
The frequency of sessions depends on your NDIS plan, your goals, and your needs. Some participants may require weekly support, while others benefit from fortnightly or monthly sessions.
Can you help with daily living skills like cooking or budgeting?
Yes. We support participants with skills such as cooking, meal planning, money management, bill payments, and household organisation.
Do you work with my other support providers?
Yes. We collaborate with your broader care team, including support workers, psychologists, doctors, and family members, to provide a holistic approach.
