Mobile OT in Box Hill

Occupational Therapy at Home in Box Hill

Box Hill is a major hub for health, transport and shopping in Melbourne's east, home to Box Hill Hospital, Epworth Eastern and the Box Hill Central train and bus interchange. We visit clients at home across Box Hill, including many in apartments close to the town centre.

Coming home after a hospital stay is a common time to start OT. OT at home helps people settle back in safely, with the right equipment, routines and support in place.

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.
