Hospital at Home is a personalised service designed to make the transition from hospital to home quicker and easier for you.

If it’s appropriate, you may be able to leave hospital sooner after an operation and continue receiving the care and support you need in the comfort of your own home. By working with the hospital staff and your doctor, services including specialised nursing care and home help can be arranged to help you recover sooner at home.

In some situations, Hospital in the Home has helped members avoid re-hospitalisation.

How do I enrol?

All cases are individually reviewed by the hospital prior to your discharge to the care of your GP, with a care plan developed appropriate to your clinical needs.

Rehabilitation at Home provides an alternative to hospital-based rehabilitation.

Instead of staying in hospital for rehabilitation, you get a tailored therapy program that can be provided in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Your program, delivered by an experienced rehabilitation team, provides a short term therapy solution to help regain your independence and improve your quality of life.

How do I enrol?

Referral to the program is made by the staff of the hospital (this may be your doctor/specialist or discharge coordinator). This program is not available in all areas.

Chemotherapy at Home is a tailored program that provides home-based infusion therapy by highly trained and skilled nursing staff for specified cancer diagnoses and other inflammatory diseases.
