About Laura

"I am an experienced occupational therapist and rehabilitation case manager, working with clients in NSW, ACT, and Victoria. I am passionate and committed to working with clients who have sustained a severe and life changing injury such as a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. I provide the following services:

Occupational therapy

Assist clients return to the daily roles and activities they need and want to do. After a severe injury, this might mean learning new ways to complete a task or using aids and equipment that were not needed before. I can help by completing a thorough assessment, training, equipment prescription and provide education for families or carers. 

Rehabilitation case management

As clients experience many unplanned changes after a life changing injury, rehabilitation case management helps guide their journey by coordinating and facilitating the recommended treatments, rehabilitation and care the clients need. Navigating funding systems and pulling together key people to help with recovery is a key skill of a good case manager. My case management style is personalised, responsive, and flexible to meet the changing needs of the client and the important people in their lives. As a case manager, I am the key contact person for the client, their family, and liaison between providers involved such as doctors, insurers and therapists. 

I also provide services for icare participants in the role of care needs assessor and dispute assessor."
