Mobile OT in Doreen

Occupational Therapy at Home in Doreen

We visit adults and children at home across Doreen (3754) and the wider City of Whittlesea. Whittlesea is one of Melbourne's fastest-growing areas, with new estates and young families, served by the Northern Hospital in Epping.

We see both children and adults across Whittlesea, from school readiness and sensory needs to daily living skills and home set-up.

Coming home from the Northern Hospital or the Bundoora 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 Doreen.

Assessments anywhere: functional capacity assessments and other OT assessments are available in Doreen. Ongoing in-home therapy depends on OT availability, so contact us to confirm.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Doreen

Most of the people we see in Doreen 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 63-year-old in Doreen with multiple sclerosis is exhausted by mid-afternoon. Our OT maps the week, introduces energy-saving strategies and recommends a perching stool for the kitchen.
