Cathy Love speaks with Jenny Gribbin, Founding Director of Driving Well Occupational Therapy in Brisbane, about building a specialist occupational therapy business in the driving and vehicle modification space. Jenny reflects on her journey from launching a side hustle at her kitchen table in 2016 to leading a small but mighty team, while staying deeply connected to the core purpose of occupational therapy: helping people return to the activities they need and want to do.
Together, Cathy and Jenny explore the clinical depth of driving-related OT, the importance of mentoring, supervision and professional interest groups, and the role innovation has played in Jenny’s work. They also discuss online toolkits, learner driver supports, senior driver preparation, clinical education, revenue diversification, and why Allied Health Business Owners cannot afford to take a “wait and see” approach in a changing sector.
