Ot At Work

Jacki Harvey is a Consultant Occupational Therapist. With broad experience in workplace, hospital and home settings, I specialise in injury and case management, occupational rehabilitation and medicolegal assessment. I have been approved as a provider of Occupational Therapist Services for the NDIS and as an accredited prescriber for the Victorian State-Wide Equipment Program (SWEP).

My professional experience has predominately been in the areas of injury management, rehabilitation and case management, in a variety of settings. My expertise is working with individuals to develop and implement rehabilitation plans, with needs identified by assessment of occupational performance in life domains. These plans involve strategies to maximise function and facilitate independence, home and workplace modifications, equipment prescription and provision of support services. I have worked in risk assessment for home care and disability services. I have managed injuries and services to support return to the workforce, earning two awards from the Australian Seafarer’s Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Authority. I have also worked as a personal care attendant for young adults with spinal cord injury.
