Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Occupational Therapy session involve?

At your initial consultation, our qualified Occupational Therapist in Gladstone will conduct a thorough assessment to better understand your personal goals, challenges, and lifestyle needs. This important first step allows us to create a customised rehabilitation plan that reflects your unique journey. At Health First Group, we take a collaborative, client-focused approach to ensure your therapy is aligned with your individual recovery path.

How can I prepare for my first appointment?

To ensure a productive start to your first Occupational Therapy session, we recommend bringing along any relevant medical documents or health records that offer insight into your condition. It’s also helpful to prepare a list of questions or concerns you’d like to address. This preparation allows for a more focused discussion with your therapist and helps lay the foundation for a personalised and effective treatment plan.

Is Occupational Therapy covered by my insurance?

At Health First Group, we strive to make Occupational Therapy both accessible and hassle-free. Our services are covered by most private health insurance providers, and we offer on-site HICAPS facilities to streamline the claims process. For clarity on your entitlements, we suggest confirming your Occupational Therapy coverage with your health insurer prior to your appointment.

How can I make a referral to Health First OT?

Getting started with Occupational Therapy at Health First Group is easy—no referral is necessary. You can book an appointment directly at a time that suits you. If you prefer, your GP can also provide helpful advice or referrals based on your needs. Our aim is to make your rehabilitation experience smooth, supportive, and easily accessible from the very beginning.
