Mobile OT in Coldstream

Occupational Therapy at Home in Coldstream

We visit adults and children at home across Coldstream (3770) and the wider Shire of Yarra Ranges. The Yarra Ranges suburbs we visit have hilly streets, sloping blocks and bushland, with Maroondah and Angliss hospitals nearby.

Access around the home, steps and outdoor safety and bushfire planning for people with disability are often part of our OT work here.

Coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Wantirna Health? 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 Coldstream.
