Mobile OT in Templestowe Lower

Occupational Therapy at Home in Templestowe Lower

Templestowe Lower is home base for our north-east occupational therapist, so it sits at the centre of our service area. We see clients across the suburb, from the streets near the Yarra River through to the homes around Macedon Road and Manningham Road.

Being local means shorter travel, more flexible appointment times and faster follow-up visits when equipment is delivered or a home modification is finished.

Coming home from the Austin Hospital or Box Hill 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 Templestowe Lower.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Templestowe Lower

Most of the people we see in Templestowe Lower 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 45-year-old with multiple sclerosis in Templestowe Lower is struggling with fatigue by mid-afternoon. Our OT maps her week, sets up energy-saving routines in the kitchen and bathroom and trials a shower stool and perching stool, so she has energy left for her part-time work.
