Mobile OT in Fitzroy North

Occupational Therapy at Home in Fitzroy North

We visit adults and children at home across Fitzroy North (3068) and the wider City of Yarra. Yarra's inner-city suburbs are home to St Vincent's Hospital and Epworth Richmond, with a mix of Victorian terraces, warehouse conversions and apartments.

Narrow terraces with stairs, small bathrooms and busy streets mean practical home set-up and community access skills are common OT goals here.

Coming home from St Vincent's Hospital or the Royal Melbourne 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 Fitzroy North.
