The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for occupational therapists schedules home visits and chases reports.

The therapist still assesses and writes the report.

Two jobs shape a normal week for occupational therapists: Book home and clinic visits, and send the intake pack before the visit. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Book home and clinic visits

  • Send the intake pack before the visit

  • Chase report deadlines the therapist set

  • Track NDIS or insurer report due dates

  • File signed reports to the referrer

Book home and clinic visits. For occupational therapists, that work sits beside Cliniko, Halaxy or the practice diary. The principal still makes the call above it.

Send the intake pack before the visit. Ask each finalist for occupational therapists when they last did this, and whether they did it in Cliniko, Halaxy or the practice diary.

The brief for occupational therapists should treat this as a standing job: chase report deadlines the therapist set. Cliniko, Halaxy or the practice diary is where the office checks it.

Track NDIS or insurer report due dates. If the hire has not used Cliniko, Halaxy or the practice diary, the first month for occupational therapists includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

File signed reports to the referrer. For occupational therapists, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.
