Banksia Therapy Services
About Us
Banksia Therapy Services is a mobile occupational therapy service supporting individuals and families across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia.
Founded and directed by Liah Cassidy, an occupational therapist who grew up in the Great Southern, Banksia Therapy Services was shaped by a strong appreciation for community, practicality, and the importance of access to the right support at the right time.
The name Banksia reflects the values that guide our work. Banksias are resilient, adaptable, and deeply connected to their environment. We see these same qualities in the people we work with. Our role is to support strengths, build skills, and create pathways that feel realistic and sustainable.
We work with people of all ages and backgrounds, offering therapy that is flexible, collaborative, and focused on everyday life. Services are delivered with an understanding that no two people or families are the same, and support should fit around real needs.
At Banksia Therapy Services, we value connection, collaboration, and meaningful progress. We aim to provide support that is practical, accessible, and genuinely useful, wherever you are located.
Our Services
Banksia Therapy Services offers a range of occupational therapy and allied health supports across Western Australia. We work with both NDIS participants and privately funded clients, providing flexible options to suit different needs and circumstances.
We’re committed to improving access to therapy for people who might otherwise miss out. In addition to servicing metro Perth, we regularly travel to regional areas, including the Great Southern, Wheatbelt, and surrounding communities, to provide in-person support where it’s needed most.
Whether you’re seeking a one-off assessment or regular sessions, we aim to deliver practical, respectful, and tailored services that make a real difference in everyday life.
