    Occupational therapists in Perth with current availability

    This page tracks which Perth occupational therapists are currently taking new clients for children, so you don’t have to ring around to find out. It covers private OT clinics across Perth, with suburb and availability so you can see who’s close by and who has room right now.

    No referral is needed to contact any of these providers directly. A GP referral isn’t required to start, though it can open up a Medicare rebate through a Chronic Disease Management plan, and some families access OT through an NDIS plan instead.

    What occupational therapists help with

    Paediatric occupational therapists work with children on the everyday skills that get harder when something isn’t quite clicking: handwriting and fine motor control, sensory processing, self-care skills like dressing and eating, play skills, emotional regulation and executive function. Some also support toileting where sensory sensitivities are part of the picture. Provider profiles list what each clinic covers and the age groups they see.

    If you’re trying to work out what’s behind what you’re seeing at home, a few of our guides might help narrow it down: ADHD support, autism support, dysgraphia and handwriting, and continence, constipation and toileting support.

    How to use this list

    Availability changes often, so this page is updated regularly rather than left to go stale. A provider showing as accepting referrals today may still have a short wait depending on when you enquire, and it’s worth asking directly about current wait times and costs when you make contact.

    If nobody nearby has room, our under 4 week wait page lists therapists across all concerns, including occupational therapy, with short-term availability.

    Common questions from Perth parents

    Do I need a referral to see an occupational therapist? No, you can contact most providers on this list directly. A GP referral can unlock a Medicare rebate through a Chronic Disease Management plan, so it’s worth asking your GP about this before your first appointment. Families with an NDIS plan can often access OT through that funding instead.

    What age range do occupational therapists work with? It varies by provider. Some clinics specialise in early childhood, others in school-age kids or teens. Check each provider’s profile for the age groups they work with before booking.

    Does my child need a diagnosis to see an OT? No. Many families see an occupational therapist for specific skills, like handwriting or sensory sensitivities, without any diagnosis at all. An OT assessment can also help build the picture if you’re exploring whether something more is going on.

    How current is this list? Providers manage their own listings, and availability updates reflect who’s currently taking new referrals. If something looks out of date, let us know at hello@perthkidshub.com.au.
