OT-led training for care and support teams
We provide practical, hands-on training delivered by occupational therapists, onsite at your service or in your clients’ homes across Western Sydney. Built around dignity, safety and real-world settings.
Four practical courses, all OT-led
Pick a course to see what it covers. Every one goes beyond “how to use the equipment”, teaching the clinical reasoning behind safe care and when to bring in an occupational therapist.
Manual Handling & Transfers
Framed the OT way, around dignity, independence, environmental setup and the right equipment, not just “how to use a hoist”. Your team learns to move people safely and respectfully in the settings they actually work in.
Book this courseWhat we cover
- Safe bed, chair, toilet and shower transfers
- Hoist use (ceiling and mobile) and sling choice basics
- Setting up the environment and selecting the right equipment
- Protecting client dignity and worker safety
- Complex presentations: pain, dementia and behaviours
- Supporting bariatric clients safely
Falls Prevention & Mobility Safety
Facilities and SIL providers are under real pressure to reduce falls. This training gives your team the skills to spot risks early, support safer mobility, and respond well when a fall happens.
Book this courseWhat we cover
- Identifying falls risks in home and facility environments
- Appropriate supervision levels for mobility
- Mobility aids and what workers can safely adjust
- When to call an OT or physiotherapist
- Post-fall responses and what to check
- Documenting changes in a person’s function
Positioning, Pressure Care & Seating Basics
A classic OT niche that most support workers are under-trained in. Good positioning prevents pressure injuries and contractures, and small adjustments make a big difference to comfort and skin integrity.
Book this courseWhat we cover
- Correct positioning in bed and in chairs
- Reducing pressure injuries and contractures
- Basic cushion types and what they do
- Using wedges and pillows safely
- Low-cost positioning solutions
- When to escalate for a seating assessment
Assistive Technology & Home-Mods Awareness
Your staff do not need to prescribe equipment. They need to recognise needs and use what is already in the home safely. This training builds that everyday awareness and a confident “when to refer”.
Book this courseWhat we cover
- Common ADL equipment: shower chairs, rails, toilet aids
- Kitchen and daily-living aids and safe use
- Red flags that mean “refer to an OT”
- When a home modification may be needed
- Simple environment fixes: layout and clutter
- Lighting and access changes staff can make now
Training that thinks like a clinician
Most manual handling courses teach a technique and move on. Because our trainers are occupational therapists, your team learns the reasoning behind safe care and, just as importantly, when something needs a clinical eye.
