Unlock Your Potential
Mental health challenges often affect routine tasks. Money becomes hard to manage. Bills are overlooked. Planning meals feels exhausting. Cleaning is avoided. Personal care slips. Days lose structure. Work, study, or social life may feel unreachable.
At PotentialMe, we focus on what’s getting in the way. Support starts with understanding your daily challenges. We then work with you to create practical strategies that fit your life.
Everyone’s needs are different. Support is shaped around your goals and priorities.

Our Scoresby occupational therapists assess how mental health affects daily function. Reports are clear and suitable for NDIS use.
