Williams OT Geelong Expansion
We are super excited as the Williams OT Family and Team is growing! We are finally in Geelong and we can’t wait to help out people with disabilities gain their independence back through driving throughout the Greater Geelong Area.
Meet Stacey
Since we are expanding into Geelong, we would like to introduce to your our latest team member, Stacey! Stacey will be assisting participants of the NDIS, TAC, and all other private and other funding bodies. She is currently available for assessments from February onwards.
Hi everyone, My name’s Stacey. I am so excited to be joining the Williams OT team this month. I was first exposed to the amazing work Williams OT is completing when finalising my post-graduate studies in driver assessment and rehabilitation. I was in awe of the innovative work, research, therapy and comprehensive knowledge displayed by their therapists, and feel extremely lucky to now be part of this team. I am passionate about assisting individuals to achieve their goals of obtaining or retaining their license and am very much looking forward to providing this service in the Geelong region with Williams OT.
