About Katherine

"I am a registered occupational therapist working since 1997 in both acute hospital and community settings. In the last 15 years I have also worked as a case manager with significant experience working in the area of rehabilitation for participants with traumatic injuries including within the NSW Compulsory Third Party Scheme, Lifetime Care and Workers Care.

I am skilled in the provision of complex case management services for participants with a range of disabilities and injuries including traumatic brain injury, orthopaedic injuries, amputations and psychological conditions. I strive to be proactive and client focused ensuring participants and their families are engaged in the rehabilitation process to assist with establishing realistic and achievable rehabilitation goals that are regularly reviewed.

My skills include assessing participants' needs, prescribing and establishing care programs and well as engaging treating providers. I also have experience in equipment prescription and completing support worker training. I have experience supporting clients with challenging behaviours and complex needs and address any issues that arise in a timely manner. I have extensive experience of consultation within a multidisciplinary setting and established written and verbal communication skills."
