Occupational Therapy Sunshine Coast
Function Plus provides personalised occupational therapy services across the Sunshine Coast, helping people improve their independence, safety and participation in everyday life. Our mobile-based service allows our occupational therapists to provide practical support within the environments where daily activities actually take place.
We work with clients across the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas, with our mobile occupational therapy service extending through to Gympie and Kilcoy.
Experienced Occupational Therapy Team
Our occupational therapists take a practical, person-centred approach to therapy. We consider the whole person, including their health, abilities, environment, routines and individual goals, to understand what may be affecting their ability to participate in everyday life.
We support people living with disability, chronic or progressive health conditions, injury and age-related changes, as well as individuals experiencing challenges with mobility, independence or completing everyday activities.
Our team works collaboratively with clients, families, carers and other health professionals to develop meaningful strategies that support greater independence, confidence and quality of life.

Our approach focuses on practical outcomes that make a meaningful difference to everyday life. Therapy and recommendations are tailored to the individual’s abilities, goals, home environment and support network, with an emphasis on promoting independence and participation wherever possible.
Mobile Occupational Therapy
Our mobile occupational therapy Sunshine Coast service brings therapy directly to the client, allowing assessment and treatment to take place within their everyday environment.
Seeing a client at home can provide valuable insight into the practical challenges they experience, from moving safely around the house and completing personal care tasks to using equipment, preparing meals and participating in everyday routines.
It also allows our occupational therapists to recommend and trial strategies, equipment and environmental modifications in the setting where they will actually be used.
Function Plus provides mobile occupational therapy across the Sunshine Coast, with services also available in surrounding communities through to Gympie and Kilcoy.
NDIS & Aged Care Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists support eligible NDIS participants and older Australians who require assistance to maintain or improve their independence, safety and participation at home and within the community.
Depending on the individual’s needs, NDIS occupational therapy and aged care occupational therapy may help identify barriers to everyday activities, assess functional needs and recommend practical strategies, equipment or environmental changes to make daily life safer and more manageable.
We understand that every person’s circumstances are different. Our therapists work closely with clients and their support networks to ensure recommendations are realistic, individualised and aligned with what matters most to the person.
A Collaborative Approach to Allied Health
Where appropriate, our occupational therapists can work alongside Function Plus physiotherapists and other members of the care team to provide coordinated support.
This collaborative approach allows us to consider different aspects of a person’s mobility, function, environment and independence, helping to provide continuity of care for clients with more complex needs. Contact us today to work with the best physios and occupational therapists on the Coast.
