Occupational Therapy | NDIS and Private Clients |

Occupational Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults
Specialised care for those too old for paediatrics but not quite ready for
general adult services. We have created a unique model of care for our
clients by building confidence and skills using their own strengths and
interests, identifying their learning style, and creating a unique toolkit
for independence.

Why are we
Different

1. We don’t try to do everything, our focus is young people with a disability, we know it and we do it well.

2. We have a unique model of care that gives our clients a better chance to actually implement and achieving their NDIS goals by our specific collaborative approach.

3. We won’t take the referral if we don’t have a suitable practitioner to support the client. We do have a large network of contacts who we can recommend as required.

About Staying Independent

Staying Independent is one of Sydney’s only occupational therapy practices specifically dedicated to adolescents and young adults with a disability. Based in Zetland, just 10 minutes from Sydney’s CBD and the Eastern Suburbs, Staying Independent is easily accessible for both the team and NDIS participants.
However, as a flexible mobile service, the team meets clients —in the community, at home, school, university, or work.

Seeing participants in their own space, meeting their family, friends, and carers, and observing their day-to-day routines is essential to forms the foundation of really understanding what life looks like for them.

Founded by Occupational Therapist Kezia Tieck, Staying Independent began as an idea and a whole lot of enthusiasm. Today, it has grown into a multidisciplinary team of occupational therapists, other allied health professionals, and support services.

With the same enthusiasm that started it all, Kezia continues to see clients and consults with other providers and organisations, advocating for and improving care for young people with disabilities.

Kezia shares:
“We get it. We understand what our clients need, we know the NDIS, and we use evidence-based practice to inform our reports and build effective therapy. The results speak for themselves.”
