Macleod is a leafy suburb with a village shopping strip and train station, close to La Trobe University and the Gresswell bushland reserves. We visit clients at home across Macleod.

Bushland reserves and local shops give practical places to work on walking, community access and confidence close to home.

Coming home from the Bundoora Centre or the Austin Hospital? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.
