Support services we provide in Tuggerah
-
Occupational therapy
An occupational therapist in Tuggerah can help children and adults find practical ways to manage activities important to their everyday lives. This can include tasks at home, school, work or out in the community.
Depending on the participant’s needs, our occupational therapists may work on personal care, sensory regulation, movement, motor skills and daily routines. Each approach is tailored to the person’s goals, abilities and surroundings, with strategies designed to work in real-life situations.
-
Positive behaviour support
Our Positive Behaviour Support practitioners in Tuggerah work to understand why behaviours of concern may occur and what changes could make everyday situations easier to manage. This involves looking at the participant’s needs, communication, routines and environment.
Together with participants, families and support networks, we develop personalised strategies that are based on the participant’s needs and goals.
-
Functional capacity assessment
A functional capacity assessment (FCA) looks at how a participant’s disability affects their ability to manage different aspects of life, from personal care and household tasks to mobility and getting out in the community.
Our clinicians in Tuggerah assess the participant’s abilities, identify areas where they may need assistance and prepare a report outlining their findings and recommendations. This report can provide valuable evidence for NDIS planning and funding decisions.
-
Speech pathology
A speech pathologist in Tuggerah can help participants communicate more effectively and manage eating or swallowing difficulties. Our speech pathologists work with people of different ages, tailoring sessions to the areas that matter most in their daily lives.
Support may cover speaking, understanding and expressing language, fluency, social communication and swallowing. Strategies are designed around individual goals and can be incorporated into everyday routines.
-
Physiotherapy
Physios in Tuggerah assist participants with movement, mobility and physical function, making everyday activities easier to manage. Our physiotherapists work with people of different ages and abilities to address their individual needs and goals.
Sessions may focus on strength, balance, coordination, mobility or movement. Therapy can include exercises and practical strategies that participants and their support people can incorporate into everyday routines.
-
Early childhood support (key worker)
Our early childhood key workers in Tuggerah work with young children and their families to support development through play, routines and everyday activities. Support is based on the child’s needs and the goals that are important to their family.
Key workers can provide practical strategies for parents and carers to use between sessions and work with other important people in the child’s life. Support may take place at home, preschool, childcare or in the community.

FAQs
At our Tuggerah location, participants can access occupational therapy, Positive Behaviour Support, speech pathology, early childhood support (key worker) and our physio in Tuggerah.
Ability Action Australia also provides a broader range of NDIS services across other locations, including exercise physiology and psychology. You can view all our NDIS locations to find out where different services are available and explore your options for accessing support.
For the NDIS on the Central Coast, our clinicians may be able to provide home and community-based appointments across many areas, including Wyong, Gosford, The Entrance, Bateau Bay, Erina, Toukley, Woy Woy and Lake Haven.
Where we cover will depend on the service required and current clinician availability. Contact our team to check whether appointments are available in your suburb.
Where possible, we will provide your existing clinician if you move to another part of the Central Coast. This can mean less time getting a new clinician up to speed and greater consistency with the goals and strategies you have already been working on.
However, continuing with the same clinician will depend on your new location, the services you receive and clinician availability. Our team can discuss your options with you before or after your move.
Bringing relevant information to your first appointment can help your clinician understand your needs, goals and current supports. This may include your NDIS plan, plan manager or support coordinator details, previous assessments or reports, a list of medications and information about other health professionals or services you currently see.
It can also be useful to think about the goals you would like to work towards and any everyday activities you are finding challenging. If you are unsure what to bring, our team can let you know when your appointment is booked.
Starting school can bring new routines, environments and expectations for your child. As this transition approaches, your key worker can work with your family to review your child’s goals and consider how their support may need to change.
Depending on your child, the process might include preparing for new routines, sharing useful strategies with teachers with your consent and supporting skills that can help at school. As your child grows, the team can also discuss the transition from key worker support to other school-age therapy services where appropriate.
