Mobile OT in Burwood East

Occupational Therapy at Home in Burwood East

We visit adults and children at home across Burwood East (3151) and the wider City of Whitehorse. Whitehorse is a major health hub for Melbourne's east, with Box Hill Hospital, Epworth Eastern and the Peter James Centre rehabilitation service.

OT after a hospital or rehab stay makes the biggest difference when the right equipment and routines are in place early.

Coming home from the Peter James Centre or Box Hill 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 Burwood East.
