Loanne is a passionate Occupational Therapist and founder of Ability Arc Occupational Therapy. Her mission is to help every participant move toward greater independence and meaningful participation in everyday life. She is known for producing clear, evidence-based and NDIS-aligned reports that support participants to access appropriate and sustainable funding. She specialises in Functional Capacity Assessments for people with psychosocial and cognitive disabilities.
Alongside assessments, she provides therapeutic services tailored to each participant's unique strengths, needs and goals. She believes therapy should be engaging, meaningful and enjoyable, using play, games and each participant's interests to create sessions that foster learning and growth. Her approach is warm, practical and collaborative, with a strong focus on building real-world skills that improve confidence, independence and quality of life.
Outside of work, Loanne enjoys travelling, lifting heavy things for fun, trying to convince herself she enjoys running, playing board games with friends, hunting down great Japanese food, or spending time with her dog (who runs the household) and her pet lizard (who absolutely does not).
