Mobile OT in Box Hill North

Occupational Therapy at Home in Box Hill North

Box Hill North is a residential suburb between Box Hill and the Koonung Creek parklands, with a mix of older family homes, units and townhouses. We visit clients at home across Box Hill North.

Units and townhouses are common here, so compact bathrooms, steps between levels and kitchen set-up often shape our OT recommendations.

Coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Peter James 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 Box Hill North.
