About Us

Hi there and thanks for reading! Bayside Peninsula Occupational Therapy has been operating in Frankston since September 2020, and it is time now for a new webpage! We are very happy to say that the journey over the past 2 years has been most exciting and very rewarding! We have developed positive relationships with so many wonderful local clients and fabulous service providers. We provide services for senior, adult, teenager and some young children, with referrals from Aged Care, DVA, Medicare and NDIS clients and providers. Referrals are accepted via phone call or direct emails.  

The principal Occupational Therapist Vivienne has many years of experience with aged care, disability, psycho-social and paediatric clients, having worked previously in hospitals, community health, with specialist disability agencies, in schools and in private practise, in clinical, management and education roles. Vivienne shares an Office with a Clinical Psychologist, allowing for some wonderful collaborative outcomes for our clients. We aim to provide you with all the support you require, working alongside you on your journey to greater self discovery, use of your own strengths and resources, and greater independence. 

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.
