Kara Edwards

I graduated from The University of Sydney in 2008 and have always worked in community occupational therapy roles where I have developed a diverse range of clinical skills both in aged care and NDIS contexts. During my career, I have built a speciality in home modifications and love the opportunity to see how enhancing well-planned complex home modifications can be to a client’s home and overall functioning. In recent years, I have pursued a special interest in dementia, completing a Diploma of Dementia Care with the University of Tasmania in 2020. I am dedicated to supporting those with cognitive impairment to remain engaged and well supported as their condition progresses. 

I provide clinical support to many NDIS and aged care participants, and enjoy the opportunity to build long-term therapeutic relationships. I provide a highly professional and efficient service, working together with clients, their families and advocates to enable people to live safely and remain as independent as possible. 

I am the Clinical Director of OT Focus and provide clinical leadership for the OT Focus team of experienced consultants.
