Founder and Executive Director, Quality Assurance

In founding PrudenceOT in 1996, Prue Sandford is arguably one of Australia’s founding medicolegal occupational therapists (OTs) and was one of only a handful of Australia’s leading occupational therapists providing medicolegal reports through until the early 2000s.

Prue went on to build a faculty of OTs, distilling her knowledge into a growing national team, now comprising over 70 expert witness occupational therapists. The quality of each report which was delivered by Prue is now a hallmark of each report delivered by the team, where an uncompromising focus on producing an evidence-based, robust and timely report, has meant PrudenceOT has becomes a trusted, respected and reliable partner in the personal injury market.

Away for the Board of Prudence, the role Prue currently holds as an Advisor, she enjoys and practices yoga and Pilates daily, and invests her time in building her knowledge base in health and wellness practices.
