Mobile OT in Oakleigh

Occupational Therapy at Home in Oakleigh

We visit adults and children at home across Oakleigh (3166) and the wider City of Monash. Monash is home to Monash Medical Centre and Monash Children's Hospital in Clayton.

We see adults and children across Monash, including after a hospital stay or when daily tasks at home have become harder.

Coming home from Monash Medical Centre or Caulfield 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 Oakleigh.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Oakleigh

Most of the people we see in Oakleigh are adults. We help with personal care, cooking and home tasks, routines and memory supports, fatigue management, community access, returning to work or study and home safety.

Example: A 24-year-old in Oakleigh with multiple sclerosis is exhausted by mid-afternoon. Our OT maps the week, introduces energy-saving strategies and recommends a perching stool for the kitchen.
