Mobile OT in Moonee Ponds

Occupational Therapy at Home in Moonee Ponds

We visit adults and children at home across Moonee Ponds (3039) and the wider City of Moonee Valley. Moonee Valley's suburbs sit just north-west of the city, close to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Essendon Private Hospital, with Edwardian homes, units and newer apartments.

Front steps, older bathrooms and getting around by tram and train are common OT goals for our Moonee Valley clients.

Coming home from Footscray 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 Moonee Ponds.
