Teenagers
Our teenage years are a time for new opportunities and experiences and our friendly team are here to support your teen get the most out of this exciting time. We can provide support physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually to help them be the best version of themselves.
Discover new opportunities and experiences
Transition to work or study
At Angelic Care we support school leavers to transition into work or study, guiding them through the unknown. Our programs are designed to equip young adults with the skills they need to successfully transition to employment. We can also link your teen with a range of employment pathways to suit their strengths, interests and abilities. We provide teens with support and encourage them to have the confidence to chase the opportunities that inspire them.
Social support and activities
Your teen can connect with their community by accessing our support services. If your teen wants to go to a concert, head to the beach with friends, try a new hobby or meet new friends in a planned group activity, we can help. We take the time to get to know your teen, their interests and their goals and match them with likeminded social workers and activities.
Improving Quality of Life
Personal care
We can support your teenager to live an independent life with confidence and dignity with our personal care services. Our friendly registered nurses can provide support at home in areas such as personal hygiene, mobility assistance, meal preparation and assistance and massage therapy.

‘Occupation’ relates to the tasks which a person does in their day-to-day life, which may be limited as a result of experiencing a disability, delay, illness and/or injury. These can include, but are not limited to:
- Self-care
- Social skills and play
- Emotional regulation
- Sensory processing
- Fine and gross motor skills

Through a combination of therapy to develop a person’s skills, adaptations to the activity or environment, and assistive technology, an Occupational Therapist can support the person to maximise independence and reach their full potential by doing the following things:
- Functional assessments
- Individual therapy based in the school, home, clinic or community
- SOS feeding – individual and group programs
- Early childhood intervention
- School aged therapy
- Adult therapy
- Sensory services
- Minor home modifications (e.g. ramps and rails)
- Assessment and referrals for major home modifications

- Assistive Technology recommendations for category 1 and 2 equipment (e.g. kitchen and bathroom aids)
- Group therapy including: Social skills groups, Self-care and independence skills groups, Fine and gross motor skill development groups and Emotional regulation groups.
We can organise the right equipment and aids to make everyday life easier. We provide advice on how to use communication technologies and can prescribe mobility and aids to optimise independence.

How we work
We will set up an initial appointment with you to get to know you and your teenager.

We can talk you through the right options for your situation, be it work or study transition and opportunities, access to therapy, home care, social connections or assistive technologies and answer any questions you have about funding including the NDIS.
