Hi, my name is Claire Duque
Founder of Oak OT
Dedicated Occupational Therapist Specialising in Adult Mental Health, Functional Capacity Assessments & Supported Independent Living Reports.
I ensure safety, choice, and empowerment in all activities, whilst avoiding re-traumatisation through sensitive and client- centered approaches.
About Claire Duque
Compassionate & Professional
My professional journey in allied health began over 20 years ago as a Support Worker, where I supported children with autism and other disabilities. This early experience shaped my client-centred and compassionate approach to occupational therapy.
In 2022, I founded Oak OT to provide dedicated occupational therapy services for NDIS participants and private clients across Sydney. Since then, I have developed a strong focus on Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA), Supported Independent Living (SIL) reports, and comprehensive occupational therapy services designed to support funding, independence and meaningful participation in daily life.
Alongside assessment and report writing, I continue to provide ongoing occupational therapy support, including daily living skills development, emotional regulation strategies, sensory processing support and community participation programs.
My practice is built on combining clinical expertise with a practical, real-world approach that supports individuals to achieve greater independence and improved functional outcomes.
