Trusted Expertise. Clear, Defensible Reports.
When a case depends on accurate functional evidence, you need an expert who understands both health and legislation.
At Lifeworks Occupational Therapy, our experienced clinicians deliver objective, comprehensive, and legally defensible occupational therapy assessments for:
NDIS Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) matters — independent functional and support needs evidence for clients challenging NDIS decisions.
Independent Medical Assessments — for insurance claims, personal injury, or medicolegal cases requiring assessment of capacity, support needs, and future care.
All assessments are conducted by highly experienced occupational therapists with specific medicolegal training and extensive experience in psychosocial disability, chronic pain, and complex health conditions.
