SMS Occupational Therapy Referral Form
Please Note:
SMS OT services are cognition focused. We support clients with cognitive impairment or dementia. If your OT referral relates to issues arising from a predominantly physical condition/impairment (e.g. you require specialised assistive technology for high physical needs) we may not be the best service for you. Please call us if you wish to discuss.
The Care of People in their Environments Program (COPE) is an evidence-based OT and nursing program for people with dementia and their carers. Running over 8-10 sessions, COPE supports both the patient and the carer in managing day-to-day activities at home. Sessions can be completed either at home or the SMS clinic and will be scheduled to suits your needs. For more information about this program see: https://copeprogram.com.au.
We advise on environmental modifications to optimise performance due to cognitive impairment or dementia, but we do not address major structural/home modifications.
Please Note: SMS charges a gap fee for Medicare funded OT appointments. Please ensure all necessary paperwork has been completed by your GP prior to your appointment.
Medicare funding for OT can is only available for patients referred via their GP with an ECP/Chronic Disease Management Plan. Please discuss referral with your GP.
