Dr Anita Clerke is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Caboolture, in Queensland. She works out of Caboolture Private Hospital on McKean Street, and also supports clients in the wider Caboolture area.
Her work focuses on helping people get through everyday life as safely and as comfortably as they can. That might mean looking at how someone manages self-care, getting around at home, getting dressed, cooking, washing, or handling daily tasks when their health or mobility changes.
In many cases, Dr Clerke helps after illness or injury, or when a long-term condition makes everyday routines harder. She also supports people who need a fresh plan for energy use, especially when fatigue gets in the way. Sometimes it’s the small things—like how you pace a shower day, or how you set up a kitchen so it feels easier again.
One of her key roles is doing an assessment of daily living activities. From there, she works on a practical, person-led plan. This often includes developing a personalised treatment plan, setting clear goals, and helping you build new habits that fit your real life.
Equipment can make a big difference too. Dr Clerke helps with adaptive equipment, so tasks can feel more doable. She also explains how to use tools safely, rather than just handing someone a device and hoping for the best. At times, the biggest win is learning a better way to do something, not doing the same thing faster.
Education is a big part of the approach. She teaches energy conservation techniques in a down-to-earth way, with tips that are easy to use at home. That might include planning breaks, spreading tasks across the day, and spotting the activities that cause the most drain.
Dr Clerke has training as an occupational therapist and brings that approach to each situation. Over time, she builds plans that focus on what matters to the person—home routines, independence, comfort, and confidence.
There’s no public detail available on specific research or clinical trials. What you will notice in her practice is a steady, practical focus on assessment, support, and realistic changes that can be used from day to day.
