People living with complex disability-related needs in rural and regional communities often face significant barriers to accessing experienced clinicians — particularly where presentations involve behaviours of concern, justice involvement, risk, severe mental illness or system complexity.
Rural Focus was established to bridge this gap. We are dedicated to mobilising integrated occupational therapy and positive behaviour support services to communities where specialist capability is often limited or completely unavailable.
We have particular experience working where multiple areas of complexity intersect, including:
Neurodevelopmental disability
Cognitive impairment
Psychosocial disability and mental illness
Developmental and complex trauma
Complex behaviour support needs
Forensic and justice involvement
Complex accommodation and support systems
Our work is particularly suited to complex and challenging presentations and overlapping needs. Our services include:
Occupational Therapy and Positive Behaviour Support Intervention · Complex Disability Assessment · Secondary Consultation and Practitioner Supervision

We usually begin with a short conversation about the referral, the questions that need answering and whether our expertise is a good fit.
