Welcome to REEF Occupational Therapy on the Mornington Peninsula
Based in Mornington on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, we provide evidence based high quality occupational therapy assessment and interventions for:
- Adults experiencing mental illness and psychosocial disability
- People requiring a driving assessment to determine impact of illness on their functional fitness to drive
We believe it’s important to place you front and centre of your own recovery journey and are here to support and enable you to work towards the functional goals that are most important to you.

What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational therapy is a health profession that supports health and wellbeing by empowering and enabling people to participate in activities that are important and meaningful to them.

What does a Mental Health Occupational Therapist do?
People who experience a mental health condition or have a psychosocial disability often experience additional challenges in being able to do the activities they want and need to do. Mental health occupational therapists use daily activities and psychological skills to support people in their recovery journey, promote independence and maximise their functioning, so they can achieve the life they want.
What does an Occupational Therapy Driving Assessor do?
Occupational therapy driving assessors have additional qualifications which allow them to help clients to either obtain a
driver’s licence or maintain their ability to drive safely. They are able to assess the functional impact of someone’s physical,
mental or intellectual disability on their ability to drive.
Susan is a registered occupational therapist with AHPRA and is a current member of OT Australia.
