Mobile OT in Southbank

Occupational Therapy at Home in Southbank

We visit adults and children at home across Southbank (3006) and the wider City of Melbourne. Our inner-city clients live close to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, the Royal Women's Hospital and the Royal Children's Hospital.

Apartment living, lifts, small bathrooms and getting around the city by tram and train are common focus areas for OT in inner Melbourne.

Coming home from St Vincent's Hospital or The Alfred? 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 Southbank.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Southbank

Most of the people we see in Southbank 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 38-year-old in Southbank with an intellectual disability wants to shop on her own. Our OT uses a picture shopping list and practises the trip to the local shops each week, fading support over time.
