Mobile occupational therapy in Lismore, brought to your home
Astrad offers occupational therapy in Lismore. Our OTs come to you. We visit your home, your school, your workplace or your local community. There is no clinic to travel to. Lismore is one of the towns our therapists reach day to day. So we can support ongoing therapy here. Lismore sits on the Wilsons River in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. It is the regional centre for the Richmond Valley. Travel here can eat up a whole morning. A home visit is far easier to keep up. This is occupational therapy Lismore residents can access at home.
Occupational therapy in Lismore helps you do the things that matter. That can mean showering, cooking, working or getting through a school day. It can also mean joining in around the community. We help children and adults. We set plain, everyday goals with you. Individual results vary. Every plan is shaped around your needs.
Who our occupational therapists in Lismore help
We support a broad range of people across Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers. That includes NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants. It also includes aged care clients and private clients.

Paying for an occupational therapist in Lismore
Many clients use NDIS funding for occupational therapy. Astrad is not a registered NDIS provider. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants, who can pick their own therapist. Aged care clients and private clients are welcome too. We can walk you through how NDIS funding for occupational therapy usually works. This is general information only, not NDIS or financial advice. The NDIA decides funding.
Why mobile occupational therapy suits Lismore
A home visit shows your occupational therapist what a clinic never sees. They watch how you move through your kitchen, your bathroom and your front steps. They spot the small barriers that get missed. The advice then fits your day.
Housing matters a lot here. The 2022 floods damaged many Lismore homes. Some were fixed. Some were raised. Some people moved to a new home. Access, safety and layout can all be different now. Seeing the home itself is the clearest way to check them.
Travel is the other factor. Lismore is home to Southern Cross University and Lismore Base Hospital. People come in from smaller towns across the Richmond Valley. A therapist who comes to you cuts out the drive, the parking and the waiting room. Lismore is one of the furthest towns our team covers day to day. So regular sessions are easy to plan.

Do I need a referral to see an occupational therapist in Lismore?
You do not always need a referral. Many people contact an occupational therapist directly, especially NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants and private clients.

What does an occupational therapist do on a home visit?
