We see adults and children across Monash, including after a hospital stay or when daily tasks at home have become harder.

Coming home from Monash Medical Centre or the Peter James 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 Wheelers Hill.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Wheelers Hill

Most of the people we see in Wheelers Hill 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 24-year-old in Wheelers Hill is finding it harder to shower safely. Our OT assesses the bathroom, trials a shower chair and handheld shower and recommends grab rails, so he can shower independently again.
