Hi and thanks for reading! That's an older photo now of my dear Mum and my youngest brother!
Bayside Peninsula Occupational Therapy has been operating in Frankston since September 2020, and it is time again for a webpage update!
We are very happy to say that the journey over the past 4.5 years has been most exciting and very rewarding! We have developed positive relationships with so many wonderful local clients and fabulous service providers.
We now provide individual services for adolescents, and all age adults, accepting referrals from NDIS clients and providers. Aged Care providers, DVA, and Medicare clients. WE provide school holiday or Saturday group programmes for children.
Referrals are accepted via phone call or direct emails.

Our Community Purpose
We love living and working in our local community! Our primary focus here at Bayside Peninsula Occupational Therapy is to assist you in doing and in being your best in your occupations and environments at home, at work, at school, in leisure and in the community. Occupational Therapists are specialists in helping you identify your own skills, and in facilitating ways for you to achieve your goals, through the use of assessments, meaningful activity, environmental modifications, specialised equipment and adapted techniques. We aim to provide you with greater capacity to identify and to use your talents, no matter what your age or circumstance, enjoying both your journey and your hoped for destination for more joy, peace, freedom and independence, and interaction with others.
