Mobile OT in Bellfield

Occupational Therapy at Home in Bellfield

Bellfield is a small residential pocket between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg Heights, close to Bell Street, with post-war homes and newer townhouses. We visit clients at home across Bellfield.

Newer townhouses often have internal stairs and compact bathrooms, while older homes have steps at the entry, so OT recommendations vary from home to home.

Coming home from the Austin 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 Bellfield.
