Abbey Hudson

I graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy in 2022 and became registered with AHRPA in 2023. I have since been working in a private paediatric clinic, primarily seeing clients on the NDIS. During my studies, I completed placements in a range of areas including outpatient rehabilitation, workplace rehabilitation and paediatric therapy. Throughout my time as an OT, I have gained valuable experience working closely with multidisciplinary teams, designed and implemented group therapy programs, put together and run parent information evenings, developed and maintained rural outreach programs, supported clients and their families to achieve therapy goals, and maintained positive relationships with clients, families and support teams.
