Occupational Therapy at Home in Prahran

We visit adults and children at home across Prahran (3181) and the wider City of Stonnington. Stonnington's suburbs are close to the Alfred Hospital and Cabrini Malvern, with a mix of period homes, townhouses and apartments.

Stairs, small bathrooms and apartment access are common reasons for OT home assessments in Stonnington.

Coming home from The Alfred 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 Prahran.
