About Me

I'm Marco, Founder & Principal OT, working in Australia with extensive experience supporting adults and children with disabilities, as well as older adults in the community. My practice is built on a foundation of person-centred care, collaboration, and evidence-based interventions.

I specialise in working with NDIS participants, their families, and support coordinators to develop practical strategies that enhance daily living and community participation. My approach is warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive, recognising that each person's journey is unique.

Our Services

Everyday OT Australia offers a range of occupational therapy services designed to support independence, safety, and participation in daily life.

Occupational Therapy Services

Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)

Comprehensive assessments to evaluate an individual's functional abilities across daily living activities, including self-care, mobility, communication, and community access. These assessments help inform NDIS planning, support needs, and goal setting.

Assistive Technology Assessment

An Assistive Technology Assessment looks at tools and equipment that may help a person complete everyday tasks more easily and safely. It considers what the person finds challenging, what supports they already use, and how equipment or technology could make daily activities more independent and safe at home and in the community.

Mental Health Assessment

A Mental Health Assessment looks at a person’s emotional wellbeing, cognitive capacity, and daily functioning to understand how mental health affects their life. It also considers any challenging behaviours, and how these impact safety and participation in daily activities. The assessment helps identify supports and strategies to improve wellbeing, independence, and engagement at home and in the community.

Home and Living Assessment

A Home and Living Assessment looks at a person’s living situation and daily routines to see what supports or changes might help them live safely and independently. It considers whether the person would benefit from Supported Independent Living (SIL) or Individualised Living Option (ILO), and identifies strategies to make daily life easier and safer.

Specialist Disability Accommodation Assessment

A Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Assessment looks at a person’s housing needs to determine the type of accommodation that will best support their independence, safety, and daily living. It considers the person’s functional capacities, support requirements, and the accessible features needed in a home. The assessment helps ensure the chosen accommodation meets current and future needs, supporting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Daily Living Skills & Routines

Support with developing and maintaining skills for self-care (e.g., dressing, grooming, personal hygiene), household tasks (e.g., cooking, cleaning, laundry), and community access. We work collaboratively to build routines that promote independence and wellbeing.

Sensory & Emotional Regulation Supports

Assessment and intervention to support sensory processing and emotional regulation. We develop individualised strategies and environmental modifications to help manage sensory sensitivities and support emotional wellbeing.

Home Modifications Assessment

A Home Modifications Assessment looks at a person’s home and daily routines to identify changes that can make living at home safer and easier. This can include minor home modifications, such as adding grabrails and handrails, as well as more complex home modifications, such as installing ramps, widening doorways, or redesigning bathroom and kitchen areas. The assessment helps ensure the home supports independence and safety both now and in the future.

Physiotherapy Services

Our physiotherapy services support movement, strength, and recovery with personalised care tailored to each client’s goals and daily activities.

Physiotherapy Assessment & Treatment

Comprehensive physiotherapy assessment and treatment plans to improve mobility, strength, balance, and functional participation at home and in the community.

Rehabilitation & Exercise Programs

Individually tailored rehabilitation and exercise programs to support recovery, prevent injury, and build confidence in daily movement.

Funding & Collaboration

Services can be funded through NDIS (Self-Managed or Plan-Managed) or privately.
