Empowering the
deaf and hard of hearing community to live
full lives
An NDIS registered national provider, we support people with permanent and significant disability. The main focus of Full Life Occupational Therapy is to serve the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. We are passionate about helping people live full lives, and are always on the search to identify creative and innovative ways to overcome obstacles to injuries, illnesses and disabilities. Specialisations include assessment, treatment and facilitating solutions for assistive technology, home modifications, hand and upper limb pathology, case management and product development. Many of the therapists are able to communicate in Auslan and share a special interest in helping the deaf and hard of hearing community, with some team members and/or their family members being deaf.
