Mobile OT in St Kilda

Occupational Therapy at Home in St Kilda

We visit adults and children at home across St Kilda (3182) and the wider City of Port Phillip. Port Phillip's bayside suburbs are close to the Alfred Hospital, with many residents living in apartments and older flats.

Lift access, small bathrooms and getting around by tram are common focus areas for our Port Phillip clients.

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 St Kilda.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in St Kilda

Most of the people we see in St Kilda 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 29-year-old in St Kilda 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.
