Occupational Therapy

Mount Lawley Hospital occupational therapists support patients to maintain or regain independence and participate safely in everyday activities.

Occupational therapy may assist patients with:

• completing personal care and daily activities
• improving mobility and independence
• assessing equipment or home modification needs
• developing strategies to manage changes in physical or cognitive function
• planning for a safe discharge from hospital.

Occupational therapists work closely with patients, families, carers and other members of the healthcare team to support recovery and help patients achieve their individual goals.
