Jonathan Oyerinde, Occupational Therapist

Jonathan Oyerinde is a dedicated occupational therapist passionate about supporting individuals in achieving greater independence and improved quality of life. Based in Bega Valley, NSW, Jonathan brings almost a decade of experience working within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), particularly through the Local Area Coordination (LAC) program.

Before completing his Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Occupational Therapy, Jonathan played a key role in the rollout of the NDIS LAC program across the Southern NSW and Illawarra region in New South Wales. Through this work, he gained practical experience assisting people with disabilities in navigating the NDIS system, understanding their funding, and accessing the support they need. Jonathan’s leadership within LAC teams further strengthened his ability to work collaboratively, advocate strongly, and deliver person-centred outcomes for participants facing various challenges.

Jonathan’s professional journey reflects his belief in empowering individuals. His experience supporting people through complex NDIS pathways has given him a unique insight into the barriers individuals and families often encounter. He approaches each client with understanding, patience, and respect.

Now, as an Occupational Therapist, Jonathan combines his broad background in disability support with his clinical skills to offer personalised therapy services. He is passionate about helping clients build everyday skills, enhance participation in community life, and achieve their personal goals—whether these goals relate to self-care, mobility, employment, education, or broader life goals.

Jonathan continues to engage in ongoing clinical supervision to ensure continuity of learning and professional growth. He stays informed of current best practices and ensures his supports meet high clinical standards. His commitment to professional development means that every service delivered is aligned with the latest evidence-based approaches and meets the unique needs of each participant.

Jonathan’s approach is always collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive, ensuring each client’s voice and choice are central to the therapy journey.

Outside of his professional work, Jonathan enjoys staying active, connecting with community events, and continuing his learning journey to better support the people he works with.

Jonathan believes that with the proper support, everyone can grow, develop, and live a meaningful life.
