About Me

Hi, I’m Clare Wahrbichler, the founder and sole practitioner of Spark Occupational Therapy!

Since beginning my career as an Occupational Therapist in 2016, I have worked extensively in both the Aged Care and NDIS sectors. In 2022, I established Spark Occupational Therapy to offer a flexible, holistic, and community-based service designed to empower people, helping them rediscover their spark and achieve their goals.

I am passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities and older adults, collaborating closely with their families, networks, and other health professionals. My work has spanned a diverse range of abilities and diagnoses, focusing on enhancing independence, achieving personal goals, and promoting overall well-being.

I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) from the University of South Australia and maintain full AHPRA registration, along with all necessary NDIS worker screening credentials to ensure top-quality, professional service. 

My skill set includes:

• Preparation of complex reports, such as:

  • Functional Capacity Assessments

  • Sensory Assessments

  • Living and Support Needs Assessments

  • Housing recommendation reports

• Planning and implementing personalized intervention programs using best-practice approaches for individuals aged 18 to 99+ from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

• Assistive technology prescriptions to enhance independence and quality of life, including comphrensive trial, assessment and associated documentation.

• Experience in working with adults who have physical, cognitive, or psychosocial challenges, complex presentations and co-morbidities.

Based in Adelaide’s western suburbs, I service most metropolitan areas and am available for rural visits upon request, subject to availability and individual arrangements.
