Hi, I’m Kate Ingram, an Occupational Therapist and the founder of Improve Your Move OT.
I grew up on a farm in Gippsland and later moved to the Gold Coast to study Occupational Therapy at Southern Cross University. While studying, I worked as an Allied Health Assistant and disability support worker. I loved these roles—they sparked my passion for equipment and showed me just how life-changing the right equipment can be (and how frustrating the wrong equipment can be!). I worked alongside OTs, physios, and speech therapists to deliver rehabilitation programs, which was an incredible experience.
After graduating, I jumped straight into working as an OT, focusing on clients with physical disabilities who needed equipment and home modifications. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot, completed numerous courses, worked with amazing people, and developed strong skills in these areas, achieving many positive outcomes for my clients.
Now, I’m based in Perth but love flying back to my hometown in Gippsland to provide OT services. I’m passionate about what I do, love meeting new people, and take a holistic, detail-oriented approach to my assessments and prescriptions. Helping people improve their lives through thoughtful, personalised solutions is what drives me every day.
