Occupational Therapy at Home in North Warrandyte

North Warrandyte sits on the Nillumbik side of the Yarra River, with large bush blocks and homes spread across steep terrain. We visit clients at home throughout North Warrandyte.

Large, steep properties and limited public transport mean driving, outdoor access and emergency planning are common OT goals here.

Coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Box Hill Hospital? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.

Example: A 55-year-old in North Warrandyte with a below-knee amputation needs a safer way to get from his car to the house on a steep driveway. Our OT recommends rails, a level path and a covered landing and supports his NDIS home modification request.
