We visit adults and children at home across Brunswick West (3055) and the wider City of Merri-bek. Merri-bek's suburbs combine older terraces and weatherboards with newer apartments and good public transport along the Upfield line and tram routes.

Home access, bathroom set-up and building independence with public transport are common OT goals for our Merri-bek clients.

Coming home from the Royal Melbourne Hospital or St Vincent's Hospital? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.
