Meet the Team
Lily Lyons
Occupational Therapist

Where are you from?

I grew up in Perth, WA and have lived here all my life. I love the beaches and the fact that everyone knows someone who knows someone. 

Where did you study?

I studied at Curtin University and have a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, with Honours. 

What made you become an OT?

I knew I wanted to do something people focused and hands on. Someone mentioned OT, so I gave it a go and after my first class, I knew it was the job for me. I love how fun, creative, and different every day is, especially when working with kids. 

Why do you enjoy working with kids?

Kids are so much FUN! They are full of surprises, they’re honest, funny, and so unpredictable in the best way. I love their imagination and energy, and there’s nothing like seeing their faces light up when they learn new things or understand something. I am so lucky to call this my job. 

What made you want to work for Eucalypt OT?

During uni, I was lucky enough to do a rural placement, and it left a big impression on me. I loved how connected everything felt working closely with families, being part of the community, and seeing how small moments could make a big difference. Joining Eucalypt felt like a perfect fit. I’ve always admired how Holly approaches her work. She’s thoughtful, passionate, and truly values the kids and families she supports. I feel really lucky to be learning from her.

​

What’s your favourite OT resource?

What’s your favourite food?
