Richard is a dedicated Occupational Therapist who believes that therapy should be authentic, warm, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life. With extensive experience across paediatric, neurological, mental health, and aged care settings in both Australia and Taiwan, he is passionate about helping individuals rebuild their confidence and independence through meaningful routines.
Currently serving as an Occupational Therapist at TeamiCare Allied Health in Melbourne, Richard provides client-centred, evidence-based support under the NDIS and Home Care Package (HCP) programs. He works across the lifespan—from children to older adults—to enhance daily living skills, emotional well-being, and community participation. His practical approach often includes:
Equipment Prescription & Assistive Technology
Environmental Adjustments & Home Modifications
Family Coaching & Holistic Support
What inspires Richard most are the “small yet powerful” milestones—whether it is a child joining in play for the first time or an older adult regaining the confidence to walk safely. As a multilingual therapist fluent in English and Mandarin, and conversational in Hokkien, he is deeply committed to cultural sensitivity and fostering genuine connections that allow his clients to live with purpose and dignity.
Outside of his professional practice, Richard is a coffee enthusiast who enjoys exploring Melbourne’s vibrant café culture and discovering new brews. He finds inspiration in films that spark reflection and maintains a balanced lifestyle through regular jogging, which helps him recharge after a busy day.
Whether enjoying quiet moments with good music or spending time outdoors, Richard values the simple, grounded routines that keep him energized and ready to support his community.
