The goal is simple

To give clients a useful report that helps them make informed decisions and plan ahead with confidence, because tertiary transition decisions deserve the same level of informed planning we apply to other major life decisions.

Why This Matters

As an Occupational Therapist, I've worked with many individuals planning their transition from school into university, TAFE, vocational training, apprenticeships, and other structured learning pathways, as well as mature-age adults looking to return to study later in life.

One of the most common challenges I observed was that individuals and families often did not have access to clear, clinically informed insights that could support informed decision-making around career pathway fit, capacity to manage and sustain tertiary study demands, and readiness for study.

The Tertiary Transition Functional Profile was created to help fill that gap and support more informed tertiary transition planning.

This work is also shaped by my own experience. Earlier in my tertiary journey, I chose a pathway that looked right on paper and performed well academically, but the work environment was not the right fit. Looking back, a functional profile like this would have provided valuable clarity before investing significant time, money, and energy.

Clinical experience

I have 10+ years of experience as an Occupational Therapist across Australia and New Zealand, including hospital acute care and neurological rehabilitation, National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), community OT, hand therapy, and aged care.

This breadth underpins an occupation-focused approach that translates real-world demands into practical planning guidance for tertiary transition.
