Mobile OT in Heidelberg Heights

Occupational Therapy at Home in Heidelberg Heights

Heidelberg Heights is a residential suburb near Bell Street, with post-war houses, units and newer townhouses, a short drive from the Austin Hospital and Northland. We visit clients at home across Heidelberg Heights.

A mix of older homes and new townhouses means OT recommendations range from simple rails and equipment to planning around internal stairs.

Coming home from the Austin 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 Heidelberg Heights.
