Drive On Therapy expands services to the Peel region, including Rockingham
Drive On Therapy has announced a major service expansion, confirming that its specialised occupational therapy driving assessment and rehabilitation services will be available across the Peel region – including Rockingham – from late April 2026.
This expansion marks an important milestone for the Perth-based provider, which has experienced growing demand for high-quality, client-centred occupational therapy driving services across Western Australia.
By extending services south of the metropolitan area, Drive On Therapy will improve access for clients living in Mandurah, Rockingham, Pinjarra, Waroona and surrounding Peel communities.
Improving access to occupational therapy driving services in Peel
Founder and Operational Lead, Andrew, said the expansion reflects the organisation’s commitment to improving access to safe, evidence-based driving assessment and rehabilitation services across WA.
Many people in the Peel region currently travel significant distances to access:
- Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments
- vehicle modification trials
- on-road rehabilitation
- driver training and licence assessments
Expanding into the region means clients can access the same level of specialised support closer to home, with reduced travel time, shorter wait periods and more flexible appointment options.
Services available in the Peel region from April 2026
From late April 2026, clients in Peel and Rockingham will have access to the full suite of Drive On Therapy services, including:
- Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments to determine fitness to drive, including assessment of potential to gain a first licence
- Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments for vehicle modifications such as hand controls, steering aids and left-foot accelerators
- On-road rehabilitation with Driver Trained Occupational Therapists
- Equipment funding applications
- Community programs supporting driving retirement and transition planning
Local partnerships for seamless service delivery
The expansion includes partnerships with local driving instructors and vehicle modifiers to ensure consistent, coordinated and high-quality service delivery across the Peel region.
Drive On Therapy’s model integrates assessment, rehabilitation and equipment trials to support safe and sustainable driving outcomes for people with disability, medical conditions and age-related changes.
Supporting independence across Western Australia
Andrew said the organisation’s goal remains the same:
To make driving safer, more accessible and more empowering for people of all abilities.
By expanding into Peel and Rockingham, Drive On Therapy aims to support more individuals, families and communities to maintain mobility and independence close to home.
Bookings now open
Bookings for Peel-based appointments are open now, with services commencing from late April 2026.
Clients, referrers and support coordinators can register their interest through the Drive On Therapy website or contact the Perth office directly.
