About US

Function Forward Occupational Therapy specialises in completing driving assessments with individuals of all ages and medical conditions. We service the Perth region and are able to complete regional assessments on request. We are happy to work with NDIS, Medicare and private clients.

Services

  • Our driving assessments evaluate your ability to drive safely and confidently, whether you’re a new driver with a disability, returning to driving after injury or illness, or experiencing age-related changes.
    We offer both off-road and on-road Occupational Therapy driving assessments in partnership with a qualified driving instructor. Recommendations may include adaptive driving equipment, driving rehabilitation, or alternative transport planning. Our aim is to support your independence while ensuring the safety of all road users.

  • We provide comprehensive home modification assessments designed to make your living environment safer, more accessible, and better suited to your needs. Our services range from minor modifications—such as grab rails and step wedges—to major structural changes including bathroom remodels, ramp installations, and kitchen redesigns.
    We work collaboratively with you, your support network, builders, and funding bodies (including NDIS and insurance providers) to ensure all recommendations are practical, cost-effective, and aligned with your long-term goals.

  • We provide expert assessment, prescription, and training in assistive technology to support daily activities, mobility, communication, and overall independence. From simple solutions—like daily living aids and seating supports—to complex technologies such as powered wheelchairs, communication devices, and smart-home systems, we ensure each recommendation is matched carefully to your needs and goals. We assist with trials, reports, and funding applications, including NDIS AT submissions.
