Mobile OT in Lalor

Occupational Therapy at Home in Lalor

We visit adults and children at home across Lalor (3075) 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 Lalor.
