The cost of injury goes far beyond the diagnosis.
Loss of earning capacity is one of the most critical, and most complex, components of a medicolegal OT report. It’s not just about what someone can’t do anymore. It’s about which roles they can realistically sustain, for how long, and at what cost to their wellbeing.
At MLEA, we use labour market analysis, task analysis, functional assessment, and evidence-based modelling to produce defensible projections of future loss. The goal: clear, accurate reporting that reflects real-world functional impact. Not assumptions.
When was the last time you saw a report that clearly connected injury to the bigger financial picture?
If you need a defensible loss of earning capacity assessment, we’re here to help.

This blog breaks down the real differences between clinical and medicolegal practice. From ethical responsibilities to report structure, evidence analysis, and the shift from client-centred to court-centred thinking.
If you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes to work as an OT expert, this is your guide.

Let’s talk sensory regulation, without the jargon.
Weighted blankets, compression clothing, fidgets, and sensory tools aren’t just trendy. They’re evidence based supports that help the nervous system settle, focus and stay regulated.
But here’s the part most people miss:
The right sensory tool is deeply personal.

What works beautifully for one person may not work at all for another.
That’s why OTs look at sensory preferences, triggers, emotional needs, and daily routines to match the right tool with the right person.
If you're an NDIS participant, parent, teacher, support worker, or plan manager trying to navigate sensory needs, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
👇 Want personalised sensory recommendations?
We’re here to help.

What actually makes someone suited to medicolegal OT?
It’s not 10+ years of experience, It’s not a law degree and it’s definitely not “just liking report writing.”
 
In Episode 3 of The OT Download, Mia breaks down the real attributes that matter:
✨ Breadth of clinical exposure
✨ Critical thinking and judgment
✨ Emotional intelligence & Flexibility
✨ The ability to prioritise
✨ And a genuine desire to “do the right thing” in complex situations
If you’ve ever wondered whether ML OT might be a path for you, this podcast episode is a good place to start.
You might recognise more of yourself in this work than you think.

✨ Meet Hannah – Our Community OT!
Hi, I’m Hannah! As an Occupational Therapist, I’m passionate about partnering with clients on their journey, offering holistic, creative, and strengths-based support to help them participate in the occupations that matter most to them.
My experience has been in community OT under the NDIS, where I’ve supported clients with a wide range of psychosocial disabilities. I provide both assessment and therapy, focusing on improving daily functioning, building practical skills, and enhancing community participation. I love OT for its real world impact and ability to empower people with strategies that make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
I value meeting clients exactly where they’re at, building strong therapeutic relationships, and working collaboratively to help them achieve their goals.🌼
I’m thrilled to be part of MLEA and to continue delivering client-centred OT that supports wellbeing, participation, and confidence. Excited for what’s ahead! ✨

Mia (Medicolegal OT & ML Team Leader) and Callie (Medicolegal Client Services Officer) take you inside the real world of medicolegal OT. The assessments, the misconceptions, the emotional load and the impact this work has on people’s lives.

The MLEA Story

MLEA was founded in 2011 by respected Occupational Therapist, Vanessa Aitken. Her approach of impartiality under all circumstances and her 30+ years of clinical practice, quickly established her widespread reputation for high-quality expert clinical opinions, supporting fair settlements nationwide. As demand grew for her services, Vanessa added more specialists to the team. Covering everything from respiratory disease, to spinal injuries, to whiplash, infants to old age.

Understanding clients need 100% reliability from their assessment reports, Vanessa built a team of highly qualified clinicians. Our experts provide reliable clinical opinions to lawyers, insurers, NDIS, fund managers, trustees, and employers. Whether our opinion helps achieve a fair legal settlement, facilitates a disabled person's access to NDIS support, or enables an employer to recruit the right person for the job; you can rely on us for integrity, honesty and expertise.

We work closely with clients to understand their personal barriers and help them redefine what they are capable of. Our goal is to understand capability and expand capacity to help people live their best possible lives.

APPLYING FOR THE NDIS: Compliant with NDIS requirements, we can assist you to clearly define and measure the impact of your disability on your everyday life with evidence.
