Occupational Therapy at Home in Balwyn North

Balwyn North is a residential suburb in Boroondara, with family homes, parks and local shopping strips such as Greythorn. We visit clients at home across Balwyn North.

Many Balwyn North homes are shared by larger families, so home set-up often needs to work for several people with different needs.

Coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.

Exercare's occupational therapists help adults, older people and children do more for themselves at home and in the community. We have no waitlist and we work with NDIS participants and Support at Home clients in Balwyn North.
