About Our Ballarat Services

Bringing OT to Ballarat's community.

Ballarat is one of Victoria's most vibrant regional cities — and like many regional communities, access to quality allied health services can be a challenge. Country Therapy is here to change that. We deliver mobile occupational therapy directly to Ballarat residents, removing the need to travel to Melbourne or wait on long clinic waitlists.

Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child's development, an older adult wanting to stay safely at home, an NDIS participant working toward your goals, or a school looking for on-site OT support — our experienced team comes to you.
