Medico-Legal Occupational Therapy Assessments in NSW & Sydney
Interface is headquartered in Bondi Junction, at the heart of Sydney's eastern suburbs. We have provided independent occupational therapy assessments to the NSW personal injury sector since 1994, with more than 30 years of experience working within NSW courts, schemes, and regulatory frameworks.
We conduct assessments throughout New South Wales, including metropolitan Sydney, regional centres, rural communities, and remote locations. Where an in-person assessment is required, we travel. Where telehealth is clinically appropriate, we offer secure remote assessment options.
