Heartland Occupational Therapy’s (OT) philosophy is to work from a holistic framework that considers the whole person and understands the impact of environment on health. We recognise that “the part can never be well unless the whole is well” (Plato) and define a person’s wellness by one’s physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual health.
Heartland OT is an Occupational Therapy clinic focused on delivering quality in person OT services to Charters Towers and the surrounding region and Telehealth services to rural and Remote Western North Queensland.
We focus on delivering holistic OT services from a strengths base model and forming strong partnerships with our families to help achieve their goals. We utilise art therapy and play based therapies within our practice.
Heartland OT was founded in 2020 at Charters Towers by Shannon Smith. The practice now includes two clinicians, a clinical assistant and administration officer.
Our services include OT services to children and young adults with disorders, delays and impairments. We also offer specialty clinics in Lymphoedema, Vascular and Hand Therapy and aged care assessments for the elderly focusing on maintaining independence.
Since opening, the practice has quickly grown and now includes 2 Occupational Therapists (one specialising in Early Intervention Paediatrics), a Clinical Assistant and Administration Officer.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land and the First Nations people.
