About Oats Street Rehabilitation Program
Oats Street in East Victoria Park is a purpose-built centre supporting people recovering from acquired brain injuries. Its immersive program blends smart environmental design, personal motivation and extended therapeutic timeframes, typically running for 12–24 months. Guided by research and an interdisciplinary team, residents work towards tailored goals across areas such as mobility, self-care, household tasks, problem-solving and independent living.
