Mobile OT in Fitzroy

Occupational Therapy at Home in Fitzroy

We visit adults and children at home across Fitzroy (3065) 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.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Fitzroy

Most of the people we see in Fitzroy 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 Fitzroy with an intellectual disability wants to shop on her own. Our OT uses a picture shopping list and practises the trip to the local shops each week, fading support over time.
