For individuals eligible under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Rebound Health provides NDIS Occupational Therapy services.

Our NDIS Occupational Therapy services are focused on enabling participants to enhance their independence, participation, and overall wellbeing.
Therapy & Counselling
Our therapy and counseling encompass a range of professional services designed to support individuals in managing mental health issues, emotional challenges, and life transitions. Among these services, Occupational Therapy plays a vital role, especially in assisting individuals in improving their functional abilities and coping strategies in daily life.
Unlike traditional counseling, which primarily addresses mental and emotional wellbeing through dialogue, our Occupational Therapy involves clients' active participation in meaningful activities. This approach helps develop skills, adapt to changes, and overcome barriers to independence and participation in daily activities.
Rebound Health assesses the needs of each individual and designs interventions that promote mental and emotional wellbeing by achieving specific, client-centered goals.
These interventions might include:
Teaching stress management techniques to help individuals cope with daily pressures.
Time management skills to improve productivity and reduce anxiety.
Strategies to navigate social interactions more effectively, enhancing communication and interpersonal relationships.
Developing coping strategies for managing emotional responses to various situations.
Anxiety & Stress Management
Anxiety and stress are prevalent challenges that many individuals face, impacting their mental health and daily functioning. Effectively managing these conditions with our mental health occupational therapy is necessary for fostering a healthy and balanced lifestyle. We can suggest critical strategies to manage anxiety and stress, each crucial in enhancing overall wellbeing.
Here are the main approaches:
Understanding Triggers and Symptoms: Identifying physical and emotional responses to stressors helps formulate a management plan.
Developing Coping Mechanisms: Employing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness can significantly reduce the impact of stress and anxiety.
Regular Physical Activity: Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, natural mood enhancers, and reduces the physical tension caused by stress.
Time Management Techniques: Organising tasks, setting realistic goals, and prioritising activities can prevent feeling overwhelmed and reduce anxiety related to deadlines and commitments.
Seeking Professional Support: This involves consultation with our licensed occupational therapist, where individuals can discuss their feelings and learn coping strategies in a supportive environment.
Lifestyle Changes (Diet, Sleep, Exercise)
Occupational Therapy boosts lifestyle changes encompassing diet, sleep, and exercise, foundational to maintaining and enhancing overall health and wellbeing. Implementing changes in these areas can profoundly affect physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability.
Occupational Therapy
Diet: Consuming various nutrients supports immune function, reduces inflammation, and promotes mental health.
Sleep: Adequate sleep helps manage stress, achieve a healthy weight, and lessen the risk of chronic diseases.
Exercise: Frequent exercise is vital to mental health by improving mood and boosting self-esteem.
Together, these lifestyle changes can significantly impact an individual's health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, enhancing mental health, and promoting a higher quality of life.
Communication Skills
Our occupational therapy services at Rebound Health are designed to address and improve communication difficulties, facilitating better interpersonal interactions and engagement in daily activities.
Assessment and Personalised Plans: Initially, our occupational therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to identify specific communication challenges each client faces. Based on these assessments, personalised intervention plans are developed, focusing on the individual's unique needs and goals.
Development of Non-Verbal Communication: Our therapists introduce strategies to enhance non-verbal communication skills for clients who struggle with verbal communication. This includes gestures, facial expressions, and body language, enabling individuals to convey their thoughts and feelings more effectively.
Social Skills Training: Part of improving communication involves interacting socially. Our occupational therapy includes training in social skills, such as engaging in a conversation, understanding social cues, and developing listening skills.
Cognitive Communication Skills: Our therapists also work on mental aspects of communication, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, which support the overall ability to communicate effectively.
