Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Occupational Therapy session involve?

Your first consultation with our Occupational Therapist in Rockhampton involves a thorough assessment focused on understanding your personal goals, challenges, and lifestyle. This helps us shape a tailoured rehab plan that fits your specific needs. At Health First, we work closely with you every step of the way — making sure your therapy journey is built around your own path to recovery.

How can I prepare for my first appointment?

To get the most out of your first Occupational Therapy session, it’s helpful to bring along any medical documents or reports related to your condition. Jotting down any questions or concerns beforehand can also make your time with the therapist more focused and productive. A little preparation goes a long way in setting up a clear and effective treatment plan from the start.

Is Occupational Therapy covered by my insurance?

We aim to keep Occupational Therapy simple and accessible for everyone. Our services are covered by most private health funds, and we have HICAPS available on-site to make claiming fast and hassle-free. To be sure of your coverage, we suggest confirming the details with your insurer before 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 needed. You’re welcome to book an appointment directly whenever it suits you.
