We Work With Your Support Network
Your Story is Yours, it is unique, special and deserves supports that are designed around you, so at Kadia, we focus on providing the very best that Occupational Therapy can offer. While some providers offer a one-stop shop, we’ve found the best outcomes happen when your support team is intentionally hand-picked. Every person’s needs are different, and the ideal mix of OT, physiotherapy, psychology, speech pathology, or support coordination varies. We work with you to build and partner with the right combination of supports—tailored, collaborative, and genuinely effective.
Funding Options
Kadia works with a wide range of funding options, including the NDIS, private payers, DVA, Aged Care, the Stay at Home program, SWEP, and private health insurance. If you’re unsure which funding pathway is right for you, our support team can guide you through your options. Reach out for a no-obligation conversation—we’re here to help you navigate the process and find the approach that best fits your needs.
Ringwood and Beyond
Kadia is based in Ringwood and supports clients across Melbourne’s East, including Yarra Junction, Healesville, Lilydale, Croydon, Wonga Park, Doncaster, Blackburn, Wantirna, Lysterfield, Belgrave, Knox, Boronia and Narre Warren.
We also provide statewide services for complex strategy support, complex home modifications and specialised clinical input. With specific arrangements, remote support is available. If you already have a therapist but they need additional complex-skills guidance, we offer secondary consultations and work alongside them to support you.
Provider of National Education
As a national trainer in clinical skills, complex home modifications and complex care, We provide practical, evidence-informed education to hundreds of occupational therapists across Australia. Our training spans public and private sectors and supports therapists from early career through to advanced practice. Through workshops, mentoring, and hands-on guidance, I help clinicians build confidence, strengthen reasoning, and deliver safe, effective, high-impact outcomes for the people and communities they support. This work continues to elevate clinical quality nationwide.

Exploring with my family and breathing in the clean, wet, earthy smell, no longer being held back.
Modifications are more than just functional spaces. They can be beautiful and add more to life than just easy access.
Access looks like different things. This was for a bed to be wheeled outside if needed giving peace of mind in an emergency.
A level entry shower and sensory considered fixtures make up only one aspect of considerations in this uniquely beautiful space.
With many ways to access the community, a trike was the right match to support exercise goals whilst also getting to the shops and back.
Not all modifications have to be fixed. Custom solutions can also be designed for rentals or where more permanent solitions are not required.
