Mobile OT in Bundoora

Occupational Therapy at Home in Bundoora

We visit adults and children at home across Bundoora (3083) and the wider City of Banyule. Banyule is home to a major health precinct, including the Austin Hospital, the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and Warringal Private Hospital.

People recently home from hospital or rehab often need a safe home set-up, equipment and help rebuilding daily routines.

Coming home from the Bundoora Centre or the Northern 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 Bundoora.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Bundoora

Most of the people we see in Bundoora are adults. We help with personal care, cooking and home tasks, routines and memory supports, fatigue management, community access, returning to work or study and home safety.

Example: A 58-year-old in Bundoora with an intellectual disability wants to shop on her own. Our OT uses a picture shopping list and practises the trip to the local shops each week, fading support over time.
