meet the wise ot team
We’re a team of experienced OT’s, excited to get out of bed each day and help our clients navigate their challenges post-injury, while supporting the hard working insurance professionals behind it all.
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
Our job brings us joy and Wise OT Solutions gives us the space we need to juggle life outside of work and live our lives by design. No red tape here! We strive to be better humans and are lifelong learners.
We work remotely, 100% of the time (hello home office and stretchy clothes!). You’ll catch us having a laugh together on TEAMS, enjoying good food and wine and often sharing stories of our client’s successes when we’re together.

Joanne Barrett - OT/Rehab Case Manager
Meet Joanne >
Joanne has been an OT for 12 years and loves what she does. She considered being a police officer, nurse or paramedic - but we're glad she became an OT!
Jo is the type to get in and get something done. She's organised and has a list for everything.
A perfect weekend for Jo includes family time, sunshine, being outside, relaxation and good food.
