Occupational Therapy at Home in Viewbank

Viewbank is a quiet residential suburb bordered by parkland along the Yarra River, including Banyule Flats. We visit clients at home across Viewbank.

Many Viewbank homes are single-level brick houses from the 1960s and 1970s, which often suit simple, cost-effective modifications such as rails, ramps and step-free showers.

Coming home from the Austin Hospital or the Bundoora Centre? 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 Viewbank.
