Who we are

Encourage

We walk alongside people and celebrate every step forward. Our role is to build confidence, motivation, and a genuine belief that meaningful participation is possible, no matter where you're starting from.

Educate

We share knowledge, strategies, and practical skills with participants, families, and support networks, helping everyone understand what participation looks like and how small, consistent changes create lasting outcomes.

Equip

We provide the practical tools, environmental adaptations, and evidence-based frameworks that enable genuine independence. From assistive technology to sensory strategies, we find what works for you and your life.

Committed Partnership
We walk alongside participants and families with consistency and care. We are committed to understanding their goals, advocating where needed, and standing with them as they navigate challenges and pursue meaningful participation.

Creative Solutions
We approach every challenge with curiosity and creativity. By combining clinical knowledge with creativity, we develop practical, person-centred strategies that address real-life barriers and support meaningful participation.

Our Guides

The Evidence That Guides Us

At Firm Foundation OT, our practice is grounded in evidence-informed principles that shape every assessment, conversation, and intervention, guiding individuals through challenges and toward meaningful participation.

Occupational therapy session
01

Client Centered

Each person is the expert in their own life. Goals and direction are shaped by the individual and their family, ensuring therapy aligns with what is truly meaningful.

02

Occupation Centred

Occupation, meaningful daily activity, sits at the heart of our work. Rather than focusing only on isolated skills, we prioritise participation in real-life roles and environments.

03

Holistic Care

We consider the whole person, physical, emotional, mental, environmental, and social factors, recognising that meaningful change rarely happens in isolation.

04

Neuroaffirming

We respect and affirm neurodiversity. Rather than seeking to "fix" differences, we aim to understand individual needs and adapt environments and occupations to support thriving participation.

05

Relationship Focused

Relationship itself is a powerful tool. We intentionally use empathy, authenticity, and professional presence to create safety, trust, and meaningful engagement.

Reuben Rock, Director
Meet the Director

Reuben Rock

Hi, I'm Reuben, Director and Occupational Therapist here at FFOT.

I value community, authenticity, and continual growth, both personally and professionally. Outside of work, you'll often find me hiking, surfing, or reading. These activities keep me grounded and bring balance to my life.

I genuinely enjoy collaboration and believe real progress happens through authentic relationships. I'm passionate about supporting people to engage in the spaces, roles, and activities that matter most to them. No goal is too big. With the right partnership and approach, growth and lasting change are always possible.

Our team loves meeting new people, so let's work together to encourage, educate, and equip individuals to live a life full of meaning.

Our availability changes as referrals come in, so the quickest way to find out is to call us or send a referral. We'll let you know current wait times and next steps, and do our best to match you with the right occupational therapist.
A Functional Capacity Assessment typically involves around 10 to 15 hours of clinician time, more for complex presentations, so the report is thorough and accurate. We aim to have completed FCA reports back within 8 weeks of commencing.
We work with people of all ages and a wide range of needs: developmental, physical, cognitive, sensory, neurodivergent, and mental health support. Whatever the goal, our focus is helping you participate fully in everyday life. If we're not the right fit, we'll help point you in the right direction.
We support people of all ages, from early childhood through to adults. Our therapy is tailored to each stage of life and the goals that matter most at the time.
We charge in line with the NDIS price guide. Specific pricing is set out in your service agreement before any services begin, so everything is clear and agreed upfront. You can also read our fee schedule and guidelines. We're happy to talk through costs and funding options, just give us a call.
Wherever matters most. As a mobile service we come to you, at home, school, work, or in the community, so therapy fits naturally into everyday life. Telehealth is also available.
Distance is no barrier. We offer telehealth anywhere in Australia, and our assessments and reports can be completed in person or via telehealth, so you can access support wherever you are.
