Early Childhood Intervention Professional - Occupational Therapist

Line Item Description

This support item funds capacity-building supports delivered by an Occupational Therapist for children younger than 9 who have a developmental delay or disability.


The primary goal of this support is to assist the child and their family or carers to work towards increased functional independence and social participation. These supports can be provided in various settings, including the home, community, and early childhood education environments. It is expected that these services are delivered in line with the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators for Early Childhood Supports.


Services can be provided either to individual participants or in a group setting. If delivered as part of a "program of support," 1:1 supports must be provided in combination with group supports.


This item can also be used for the assessment, planning, and delivery of Disability-Related Health Supports where they directly relate to the participant's functional impairment and assist with activities of daily living.

To deliver this support, the provider must be an Occupational Therapist who holds a current Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) Registration.

In addition to direct, face-to-face services, this support item can be used to claim for:
