Occupational Therapist
Tyler Schutz

I am a passionate and approachable Advanced Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience in community-based rehabilitation. I have a special interest in driving assessment and rehabilitation for individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries, as well as neurological rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other neurological conditions. My work has spanned acute, inpatient, and community settings, where I have cultivated strong relationships with NDIS and NIISQ partners and providers.
 

My clinical expertise includes:

  • Conducting comprehensive driving assessments and developing tailored rehabilitation plans in collaboration with specialist driving instructors.

  • Supporting individuals through neurological rehabilitation, including cognitive, perceptual, and upper limb interventions, as well as fatigue management and vision therapy.

  • Prescribing adaptive equipment and creating strategies that enable participation in meaningful activities and improve quality of life.
     

In addition to clinical work, I am committed to mentoring and supporting other therapists, contributing to service improvements, and collaborating with clients and families to navigate their unique journeys. I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge through professional presentations and developing resources to enhance care pathways.
 

My approach is distinctly client-centred, ensuring that each person’s unique needs are at the forefront of their therapeutic journey. I am driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference—whether it’s helping someone return to driving, reengage in meaningful roles and activities, or feel more confident in daily life.
 

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (University of Queensland)

  • Occupational Therapy Driving Assessor (Flinders University)

  • Member of Occupational Therapy Australia

  • Registered Occupational Therapist (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency)
     

By combining evidence-based practice with genuine care, I strive to create an environment where clients feel supported and empowered to achieve their goals.
