Occupational Therapy at Home in Yallambie

Yallambie is a quiet residential suburb on the Plenty River, with family homes on curving streets and easy access to the Plenty River Trail. We visit clients at home across Yallambie.

Many homes here are established family houses, so bathroom set-up, steps at the entry and outdoor access are common OT goals.

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 Yallambie.
