Occupational Therapy at Home in Belgrave South

We visit adults and children at home across Belgrave South (3160) and the wider Shire of Yarra Ranges. The Yarra Ranges suburbs we visit have hilly streets, sloping blocks and bushland, with Maroondah and Angliss hospitals nearby.

Access around the home, steps and outdoor safety and bushfire planning for people with disability are often part of our OT work here.

Coming home from the Angliss Hospital or Casey Hospital? 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 Belgrave South.

Assessments anywhere: functional capacity assessments and other OT assessments are available in Belgrave South. Ongoing in-home therapy depends on OT availability, so contact us to confirm.
