Momentum OT

03/10/2025

Momentum OT, with its heart in the fight,
Blended passion with purpose, full of hope and delight.
Like the journey of parenting, it seemed like a dream,
Full of hope and ambition, a glimmering beam.

Sleepless nights, doubts, and hurdles to bear,
But also the joy of a vision so rare.
Each step of the way brought challenge and pain,
Yet through every storm, we found purpose again.

We dared to be different, to shatter the mould,
A workplace of balance, of values so bold.
Flexibility flourished, remote work took the stage,
Empowering a team to thrive at every age.

From Dust Diseases to minds in despair,
We’ve walked with our clients, their burdens to share.
Each life we have touched, each story we've heard,
Has strengthened our mission, our vision, our word.

As I look at the team, a patchwork quilt I see,
Each person a square in our Momentum journey.
Woven with gratitude, compassion, and care,
A tapestry of moments that we’ve come here to share.

To our team so devoted, the heart of it all,
You answer each challenge, you rise to each call.
With compassion and skill, you’ve carried the flame,
And made Momentum OT a trusted name.

Our industry is rife with changes this year.

As a result we are seeing many OTs leave the profession, it can be hard in times of change that is out of your control to connect back to why we love what we do.

So at Momentum OT to support our OTs through challenges and changes we ask them to share moments in their career where they felt most proud to be an OT, today we want to share Natalie's story...

"A participant I was working with had spent years stuck at home, her world shrinking down to four walls because she had no way of getting out on her own.

When I was able to prescribe a scooter and portable oxygen for her, everything changed. For the first time in years, she had the freedom to step outside.

Watching her take control of her own mobility, and seeing that spark of independence return, was one of those moments that reminded me exactly why I do what I do."

Here are 5 green flags that show your OT is doing more than ticking boxes

They tailor the plan to you - not just your condition.
Your OT should focus on what matters most in your life: independence, confidence, safety - not just paperwork.

They’re clear, not confusing
From how they communicate goals to how they write reports, good OTs help you understand the process (not feel lost in it).

They know the system - and how to navigate it
Whether it's NDIS, aged care, home mods or equipment prescriptions, they know the rules and get results.

They actually follow through
On bookings, reports, communication, and action. No ghosting. No endless chasing.

They make you feel heard
You should feel respected, not rushed. Supported, not spoken over. Your OT should work with you, not just for you.

When I talk to Support Co-ordinators the thing they tell me they're struggling the most with is finding Occupational Therapists with experience, expertise, capacity and quality.
Expertise and skills to offer high-quality clinical services- we take the guesswork out of whether the OT has the skills for the job.

Experience - every OT at Momentum has at least 5 years of clinical experience but most have over 10 years. This provides our customers with the peace of mind that our Occupational Therapists have the clinical experience and life experience to meet the most complex of situations.

Capacity - we aim to provide services in a timely manner with clear communication regarding timeframes for delivery.

Quality Control systems and NDIS Registered, our referral partners and participants can be assured that out therapists are trained, supported and independently reviewed and audited.

Send us a message and find out how we can help you in 2025.

Did you know that a well-planned home modification can be the turning point for a participant’s independence?

Common signs your participant might need a home mod:
Avoiding showers due to fear of falling
Struggling with stairs or doorways
Using unsafe workarounds (e.g, plastic chairs in showers)
Unable to access key areas of the home
Recently acquired mobility equipment that no longer fits the space
