Private Occupational Therapy
for Aged Care Clients
Positive Step provides private occupational therapy services across Perth for older adults who prefer to access support without waiting for aged care funding.
Choosing private services allows you to access the support you need, when you need it, with flexibility around timing and services. Whether you are looking for a one-off assessment or ongoing therapy, Positive Step can tailor support to your goals, environment and priorities.
When private services may be suitable
Private occupational therapy may be appropriate if you would prefer not to wait for Support at Home funding, or if you require services that are not currently included in your plan.
It can also be useful if your needs have changed and you would like to begin support immediately, or if you are looking for more flexible or ongoing input.
Positive Step works with you to determine the most appropriate approach based on your situation and goals.
