Mobile OT in Briar Hill

Occupational Therapy at Home in Briar Hill

Briar Hill is a leafy, hilly suburb between Greensborough and Montmorency, with bushy gardens and many homes on sloping blocks. We visit clients at home across Briar Hill.

Sloping blocks, steps and steep driveways make outdoor access and getting safely to the car common OT goals here.

Coming home from the Bundoora Centre or the Austin 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 Briar Hill.
