About OTRS...
We are a team of dedicated health care professionals who are passionate about helping people live the best life they can, participating in all their chosen activities to the full extent of their abilities.
Nothing gives us more fulfilment than empowering people to achieve their goals.
We believe it is not a person's condition that disables them, but their environment. Our ethos is about changing the physical environment and perceptions and enabling the person to learn new skills and practical solutions to deal with barriers that they are faced with, which increases their ability and therefore their independence. It's hard to think about and come to terms with the impacts that ageing and different conditions can have on us, our team is here to support you through this. We do not want to limit your life, we want to expand it.
Our friendly, qualified team are able to assist you with Medical Driving Assessments, Commercial Vehicle Driving Assessments, Vehicle Modifications and Accessibility Education.
We are provide medical fitness to drive assessments both for ACC, Enable, Accessable and Lotteries and privately across all regions of the North Island, from Auckland to Wellington.
"Our perceptions and the way in which we approach a person as well as the environment in which they live in is what can create a disability. We should focus on breaking down barriers; physical and perception, and look to enabling people to achieve their full potential" - Craig Harington (OTRS Managing Director)
