Why Choose Astrad in Tweed Heads
The Astrad Difference on the Tweed
We take time to understand your goals and your challenges. Your occupational therapy plan is then written for your life in Tweed Heads, not for a template.
You do not need to travel to a clinic. Our therapists come to your home, your child's school, your workplace or a community setting across the Tweed.
From paediatric occupational therapy to aged care support, we cover a wide range of needs. We help with daily living skills, mobility, home safety and independence.
We support NDIS participants, aged care clients and private clients. Astrad is not a registered NDIS provider, so we work with self-managed and plan-managed participants.
We focus on outcomes that matter to you. That might be a safer shower, an easier morning routine, or getting back out into the community.
Our occupational therapists are registered with AHPRA and our speech pathologists are certified with Speech Pathology Australia. You receive care from qualified professionals committed to best practice.

What We Help With on the Tweed
What Our Occupational Therapists Do in Tweed Heads
Our occupational therapy Tweed Heads services cover assessment, equipment and everyday living support. Here are three areas we are asked about most.
Home and Safety Assessments
We assess your home for hazards. We then recommend rails, ramps, lighting and other changes that help you stay safe.

We trial and prescribe mobility aids and assistive technology. We also supply the reports your funding body asks for.

Looking for an occupational therapist in Tweed Heads? Astrad Allied Health can help. We are a fully mobile provider. Our AHPRA-registered occupational therapists travel to you. There is no clinic to visit. This is occupational therapy Tweed Heads residents can access at home. Tweed Heads sits within our regular day to day service area. Our therapists cross the Queensland border to see clients here. We visit homes, schools, workplaces and community settings right across the Tweed.
What a mobile occupational therapist in Tweed Heads does
Mobile care means your therapist comes to you. They see your kitchen, your bathroom and your front steps. That is where the useful information sits. We can spot hazards room by room. We can trial equipment in the space where you will actually use it. We then set goals that fit your daily routine. Home visits also save you travel, parking and waiting time.
Crossing the Queensland border
Tweed Heads sits at the mouth of the Tweed River on the far north coast of New South Wales. It shares a street border with Coolangatta in Queensland. That border can feel confusing when you are arranging support. The good news is simple. NDIS plans and aged care funding follow the person, not the state line. Astrad already works on both sides of that border. You can read about our occupational therapy on the Gold Coast. We also offer speech pathology on the Gold Coast. Our therapists travel south into Tweed Heads as part of normal day to day work.

Who we support in Tweed Heads
Our clients come from all walks of life. We work with children, adults and older people. Our clients include NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants. We also support aged care recipients on Home Care Packages. We help private clients too. Astrad is not a registered NDIS provider. That means we work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Not sure how your plan is managed? We can help you check before we begin.
Supporting older adults across the Tweed
Tweed Heads has a high proportion of retirees. Many households include an older adult who wants to stay at home. Our occupational therapists support that goal. We usually look at the bathroom first, because it is a common falls risk. We check steps, lighting and floor surfaces. We then suggest rails, shower stools and other simple equipment. We also help with the move home after a hospital stay. The Tweed Hospital serves this area, and coming home often takes planning. Individual results vary.
Paediatric occupational therapy in Tweed Heads
We also offer paediatric occupational therapy Tweed Heads families can rely on. Our therapists work in the home and at school. We help with handwriting, play, coordination and sensory needs. We involve families in every plan. This helps children build confidence in the activities that matter to them each day. Outcomes vary between children.

Funding is often the first question people ask. We can walk you through it. Our guide to NDIS funding for occupational therapy explains what sits in the Improved Daily Living budget. If you are an older adult, our aged care funding guide covers Home Care Packages. Private options are available too. Tell us how your funding is managed and we will explain the next step.

We support children, adults and older people. Our clients include NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants, aged care recipients on Home Care Packages, and private clients.
