Hi there and thanks for reading! Bayside Peninsula Occupational Therapy has been operating in Frankston since September 2020, and it is time now for a new webpage!
We are very happy to say that the journey over the past 2 years has been most exciting and very rewarding! We have developed positive relationships with so many wonderful local clients and fabulous service providers.
We provide services for senior, adult, teenager and some young children, with referrals from Aged Care, DVA, Medicare
