Jillian Hull is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Forster, NSW. You can find her at Suite 6, Cape Hawke Specialist Centre, 10-12 South Street, Forster NSW 2428.
In day to day life, small things can get harder. Jillian helps with the practical side of living, so people can keep doing as much as they can at home and in the community. That might mean looking at routines like getting dressed, moving around safely, or managing everyday tasks when pain, injury, or change in health has thrown things off.
A big part of her work is helping people build movement and strength in a way that fits their needs. She can teach exercises to improve movement, with a focus on making the plan clear and doable. At times, this can feel slow. But the goal is steadier progress, and better control in day to day actions.
Home is where most people feel the most strain, especially when balance, mobility, or energy levels aren’t the same as before. Jillian can assess a home for safety. This can include checking things like tricky areas that may cause falls or make daily tasks harder than they need to be.
Once the home and routine are looked at, she may recommend adaptive equipment. The aim is simple: help people work around barriers without giving up independence. Adaptive equipment can make tasks feel more manageable, and it can also reduce stress and strain during the day.
Jillian also helps build strategies for independent living. That can mean breaking tasks into smaller steps, planning what to do when things are tiring, and finding ways to get through the day with less hassle. In many cases, the right support turns a stressful routine into something more steady and realistic.
If you’re not sure where to start, it helps to think about the things that feel hardest right now. Jillian’s approach stays grounded in daily needs—helping you look at your current setup, improve movement where it’s helpful, and work toward doing more for yourself.
