About Drive & Thrive OT

Drive & Drive & Thrive OT is a mobile occupational therapy service supporting adults and older people across Greater Western Sydney. We are best known for OT driving assessments, and we also provide functional capacity assessments and equipment and home environment assessments. Our work focuses on real-world function: how people drive, manage daily activities, access their community and keep doing the things that matter to them.

Practical, Person-Centred Occupational Therapy

Every assessment is completed with care and consideration for the individual’s circumstances. We take the time to understand how health, function and environment interact, recognising that decisions around driving and independence can feel significant.

We explain the purpose of each assessment clearly, keep families and referrers informed, and focus on practical recommendations that make sense in a person’s real environment.
