Rural Focus Impact Group (RFIG) is a consultancy service, dedicated to bridging the gap in niche allied health services available to people with complex needs and challenging presentations who are living in regional, rural and remote areas across Australia.

RFIG acknowledges the unique challenges faced by regional, rural and remote communities, including limited access to services, long travel times, and fewer local resources equipped to work effectively with those who have complex needs.

Our clinical services include occupational therapy assessment and intervention, as well as specialist behaviour support intervention.

We work exclusively with people living with complex and overlapping neurodevelopmental disability, severe mental illness and those living with cognitive impairment.

We prioritise referrals for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and young people facing significant disadvantage and vulnerability, including those in out-of-home care, those involved with the child protection system, and those engaged with, or at risk of entry to the criminal justice system.

We are experienced in working with people who display complex, risky, harmful and/or challenging behaviours, as well as those who support and interact with them.

We are skilled in adapting our service delivery across diverse community settings, secure residential facilities, and all custodial environments - including maximum security settings.

Through our work, we seek to contribute to the meaningful reduction and sustainable elimination of restrictive and coercive practices.

We are passionate about supporting the development of early career practitioners and invite supervision inquiries from mental health occupational therapists and those practicing positive behaviour support with clients living with dual disability.

We collaborate with Griffith Psychology to offer a range of workshops, training and development opportunities. You can find out more here

RFIG are able to utilise funding from a variety of sources to support our service delivery. Some clients may be required to pay a small gap fee, dependent on their source of funding - this will be discussed on intake.

Prior to any commencement of service, all clients are provided with a detailed service agreement that includes a transparent fee structure and billing schedule.
