What Are Occupational Therapy Home Visits?
Occupational therapy home visits involve a qualified Occupational Therapist coming to your home to provide personalised, evidence-based therapy focused on enabling you to do the things that matter most - safely and independently.
These visits are ideal for individuals who:
Have difficulty accessing clinic-based services
Need support with daily activities and routines
Are recovering from injury, illness, or surgery
Live with disability, chronic or neurological conditions
Prefer the convenience and familiarity of home-based therapy
We work collaboratively with clients, families, carers, and support coordinators to ensure therapy is meaningful, achievable, and aligned with your personal goals.

We support children, teenagers, adults, and older adults across Adelaide through flexible, person-centred OT services.
