Activities of Daily Living
Goal-oriented occupational therapy to build independence in everyday tasks, from personal care to community participation.
What Are Activities of Daily Living?
Activities of daily living (ADLs) are the essential tasks we carry out every day to look after ourselves and participate in our communities. When injury, disability, or health conditions make these activities difficult, occupational therapy can help participants develop the skills and strategies needed to regain independence.
How We Can Help
Our occupational therapists work with participants to assess current abilities, set meaningful goals, and implement practical strategies that support greater independence. Therapy is delivered in the participant's home and community to ensure skills are developed in real-life settings.
- Personal care - showering, dressing, grooming, and toileting
- Meal preparation - planning, cooking, and kitchen safety
- Household tasks - cleaning, laundry, and home management
- Community access - using public transport, shopping, and social participation
- Medication and health management routines
Goal-Oriented Therapy
Every participant has different priorities and aspirations. Our approach centres on the goals that matter most to each individual - whether that is preparing a meal independently, catching public transport, or managing a morning routine without assistance. We use evidence-based interventions, task analysis, and graded activities to build capacity over time.
NDIS Capacity Building
ADL therapy is typically funded under the NDIS Capacity Building - Daily Activity budget. Our occupational therapists work with participants and their support coordinators to ensure therapy aligns with NDIS plan goals and delivers measurable outcomes. We provide regular progress reports and plan review documentation.
