Based in the beautiful Coffs Coast in NSW, CHIME is flexible to your needs and can provide services in your home, in the community, or via telehealth.

The CHIME Recovery Framework (Leamy et al 2011) is utilised to focus on the five key elements of recovery- Connectedness, Hope and optimism about the future, Identity, Meaning in life, and Empowerment. Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.

Just like a kinetic mobile, occupational therapy can assist to create a balance within these dynamic elements.

Providing specialised occupational therapy services to people with mental health or psychosocial conditions, we use a range of evidence-based tools to help you develop independence, build skills and increase participation in the roles and activities that are meaningful to you.

CHIME supports people through Plan Managed and Self Managed NDIS Plans and Private Fee for Service.
