Occupational Therapy at Home in Watsonia North

Watsonia North is a residential suburb next to Greensborough, with family homes, local parks and quick access to the Greensborough Highway. We visit clients at home across Watsonia North.

Family homes here often have steps at the entry and shower-over-bath set-ups, so bathroom and access changes are common OT recommendations.

Coming home from the Bundoora Centre or the Austin 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 Watsonia North.
