We take a team-based approach, supporting your needs with a range of therapies for better outcomes:
Unlike traditional clinic-based therapy, we believe in supporting individuals where they live, work, learn, and play. Real-life environments present unique challenges and opportunities, making therapy more relevant and effective. By working directly in your community, we also help shift attitudes and remove barriers to participation.
The best way to build your skills is to work with you in your everyday environments while also helping to change community attitudes that may be holding you back. Clinics are simulated environments which don’t present the same barriers and challenges as real-life, everyday environments.
The initial session includes:
After the initial sessions you’ll then move into a regular rhythm of therapy overseen by your primary therapist plus a mix of other practitioners (eg. speech pathologist, physiotherapist, behaviour support practitioner, and habit coach) depending on the goals you set. You may have a burst of therapy sessions conducted by your occupational therapist, and then practice the routines and skills with a habit coach between therapy sessions.
After the initial assessment, you will have:
You may also have a burst of intensive therapy sessions followed by skill reinforcement with a habit coach.
We have teams of therapists and practitioners based in therapy hubs across Brisbane who service suburbs including Logan, Ipswich, Bray Park, Strathpine and surrounding areas.

Everyday Independence offers a range of NDIS functional assessment reports that are detailed yet simple.
They are:
They cater to different situations and provide all the necessary details for the NDIS. Conducted by experienced occupational therapists, these assessments can help you apply for NDIS funding that aligns better with your goals and quality of life.
NDIS functional assessments measure your abilities to perform daily tasks in the places you live, work, and play, considering your well-being, independence, support needs, mobility, communication, self-management, learning, and self-care.
Depending on your goals and your unique situation your occupational therapist will work with you on a range of therapy initiatives to help you do things more easily and safely.
We’ll recommend devices to help you do the things you enjoy and need to do. We’ll make sure you know how to use the device effectively to meet your needs. We may suggest changes to your environment, such as your home or workplace, to help you do more things independently or to make it easier for others to support you. We’ll get to know your strengths and where you might need some help so we can create a “support plan” for your caregivers. This plan will outline how and when you need assistance while ensuring you have the chance to try things out, share your thoughts, and be involved. We’ll create a program to enhance a specific skill, like becoming more independent by using public transport or managing your behaviour to improve interactions with others.
