Let’s be clear about what Movementum is.

We’re an occupational therapy practice dedicated to making safe, quality care possible through practical moving and handling training, consultation and clinical support.

Training [our primary focus] — working with care organisations across NSW to build their teams’ confidence and capability. In-person sessions, open courses, accessible learning options.

Consultation — supporting iCare case managers, therapists and care providers navigating complex care situations.

Clinical services — moving and handling assessments, equipment guidance and OT support for funded care arrangements. This work keeps us grounded in the realities of home care.

Resources — educational materials, practical guides, training support that extends beyond the session.

What ties it together? Safe work, quality care. We genuinely believe both matter equally, and our entire service model is built around supporting everyone involved in the care journey.

That’s Movementum. Not corporate training provider, not distant consultancy, but collaborative OT practice working alongside you to make quality care achievable.

One-size-fits-all training doesn’t work in care.

Every organisation has different clients, different equipment, different challenges. Every support worker brings different experience levels and learning needs.

That’s why Movementum training flexes.

Foundation skills for new support workers? Refresher sessions for experienced teams? Client-specific training for complex care situations? We adapt to what you actually need — working with your equipment, addressing your policies, focusing on the scenarios you’re navigating.

Large team training, small groups of 2-3 support workers, individual coaching for challenging cases — we do it all.

Our OT-led approach means we adjust on the spot. Questions that take us in a different direction? We follow that thread. Team needs more time on a particular technique? We adapt. Someone struggling with a concept? We find another way to explain it.

We can bring training to your workplace, run open sessions you can attend, and we’re developing online options for teams who need flexible learning. The goal isn’t to tick a training box. It’s to build genuine capability in moving and handling that matches your real needs and creates lasting confidence for your team.

Quality care requires training that works for you, not training you have to work around.

The care you provide is complex, physical and deeply personal.

You deserve training that actually equips you for that work.

From Movementum training, you gain practical confidence in situations you face every day. Not theory you’ll forget, but techniques you’ll use in real care environments with real people. Skills that reduce your stress and protect both you and the people you’re caring for.

You gain clear understanding of why certain approaches work better than others — so you can adapt when situations change.

You gain professional capability that supports your career growth in the care sector.

Most importantly? You gain the confidence that comes from knowing you’re providing safe, quality care. No more second-guessing yourself in tricky transfers or feeling anxious about whether you’re doing things the right way.

Our training is led by occupational therapists who understand care work isn’t straightforward. We respect your experience, acknowledge the challenges you face, and give you practical skills that make your work safer and more sustainable.

Because you deserve training that actually serves you, not just fulfils compliance requirements.

Hands-on learning. Real equipment. Actual care environments.

This is what sets Movementum’s in-person training apart.

No tick-box compliance sessions or generic presentations. You’re actively problem-solving alongside an experienced occupational therapist, practising techniques and getting immediate guidance that addresses your specific care situations.

Our sessions are tailored to your team, your policies, the types of care you actually provide. Complex transfers? Challenging scenarios you’re facing? We work through them together, building confidence through doing, not just watching.

Support workers consistently tell us they leave with skills they can use straight away. Care organisations see genuine capability building, not just training completion certificates.

Whether you’re building your team’s moving and handling skills, seeking practical guidance as a support worker, or needing training that goes beyond the basics—our in-person sessions create space for genuine skill development.

Training that respects your intelligence, acknowledges the complexity of care work, and leaves you genuinely more confident.

Meet Natasha Nutt — the OT and founder behind everything Movementum creates.

Years of working in complex care, equipment prescription and moving and handling have given Natasha deep knowledge in what makes care both safe and dignified. But what really sets her approach apart? Genuine commitment to supporting both the people receiving care and those providing it.

Movementum reflects Natasha’s belief that great care shouldn’t be complicated or compromised. With the right training, resources and support, care providers can build genuine confidence in their practice.

Whether she’s delivering hands-on training, consulting on complex care situations, or developing resources that make moving and handling clearer—Natasha’s focus stays the same. Empowering people to provide safe, quality care without burnout or guesswork.

That’s the energy that built Movementum, and it’s what continues to shape everything we offer.

Training doesn’t end when the session finishes.

Every guide, every checklist, every piece of documentation we create is designed with one goal — giving you practical knowledge that translates to real care environments.

Our approach to resources is intentional:
> Educate without overwhelming
> Demonstrate without patronising
> Leave you with information you can actually apply

Whether you’re a support worker navigating a tricky transfer, a care coordinator reviewing procedures, or a family member learning how to support someone at home — our resources give you the foundation to make informed decisions.

Because quality care shouldn’t require guesswork. You deserve clear, practical guidance from experienced occupational therapists who understand what actually works.

What started as clinical OT practice has grown into something we’re genuinely proud of.

Movementum is now the go-to resource for care organisations and support workers across NSW who need moving and handling training that actually works in real care environments. Not theory-heavy sessions that don’t translate, but practical guidance you can use straight away.

Our new brand reflects this evolution. Training that builds genuine confidence. Consultation that solves complex care challenges. Resources that support you beyond the session. Clinical services when specialist OT input matters.

Whether you’re a care organisation building capability, a support worker wanting practical skills, or a family navigating complex care at home—we’re here with OT-led support that makes a genuine difference.

Safe work, quality care. That’s what drives everything we create.

Something new is taking shape at Movementum.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll notice our brand evolving to better reflect who we’ve become and where we’re headed. This isn’t about changing what we do; it’s about clearly showing the breadth of moving and handling training, resources and consultation we now offer across NSW.

Our commitment remains the same—safe work, quality care for everyone involved in the care journey. What’s changing is how we share that with you, making our training more accessible and our support more comprehensive.

We’re building something that genuinely serves care providers, support workers, families and therapists who need practical, OT-led moving and handling guidance.

Stay tuned. We’re excited to share what’s next.
