Post Hospital Support

NDIS Post Hospital Support in Melbourne

Post Hospital Support helps NDIS participants return home with the practical care they may need after being ill or spending time in hospital. The focus is continuity of care, recovery at home and support that helps maintain independence.

This support may include nursing support, personal care, domestic assistance, meal preparation, travel and transportation, wound management and help accessing the community.

What Is Post Hospital Support?

Post Hospital Support refers to in-home supports that may be needed after discharge from hospital or after illness. Support can be short term after a minor operation or longer term when recovery is more complex.

The right support arrangement depends on your health needs, daily routines, home environment, NDIS plan and recovery goals.
