Mobile OT in Doncaster East

Occupational Therapy at Home in Doncaster East

Doncaster East is a large residential suburb with local shopping hubs at Tunstall Square, Jackson Court and The Pines. We visit clients at home throughout the suburb and often build community goals around these local centres.

Local shopping centres make practical, real-world places to practise community access, money handling and public transport skills.

Coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Peter James Centre? 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 Doncaster East.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Doncaster East

Most of the people we see in Doncaster East 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 34-year-old in Doncaster East with an intellectual disability wants to shop on his own. Our OT uses a picture shopping list and practises the walk to Jackson Court each week, fading support until he can do it independently.
