Occupational Therapy at Home in Oak Park

We visit adults and children at home across Oak Park (3046) and the wider City of Merri-bek. Merri-bek's suburbs combine older terraces and weatherboards with newer apartments and good public transport along the Upfield line and tram routes.

Home access, bathroom set-up and building independence with public transport are common OT goals for our Merri-bek 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.

Assessments anywhere: functional capacity assessments and other OT assessments are available in Oak Park. Ongoing in-home therapy depends on OT availability, so contact us to confirm.
