Hospital Transition Support

Hospital transition support is a specialised service offered through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that helps participants leave hospital safely and return to their home or community. When you're ready to be discharged from hospital, having the right supports in place can make all the difference to your recovery and wellbeing.

Transitioning from hospital can feel overwhelming. 

You may have experienced changes to your health or disability, and navigating what comes next requires careful planning and coordination. Our hospital transition support services are designed to ensure you have the supports you need as you adjust back to life after your stay in the hospital.

Meliora Life provides Hospital Transition Support services throughout South East Queensland (Moreton Bay Regional, Ipswich City, Brisbane City, Logan City and Redland City).

At Meliora Life, our trained and experienced Support Coordinators and Support Workers can assist you with:

  • Discharge planning and coordination: Working with hospital staff, NDIS planners, and other professionals to ensure all necessary supports are arranged before you leave hospital.

  • Support coordination: Helping you understand your NDIS plan, connecting with quality providers, and ensuring your supports are working well for your transition needs.

  • Personal care support: Arranging assistance with daily activities like showering, dressing, meals, and medication management as you settle back home.

  • Home modifications and assistive technology: Coordinating necessary equipment like hospital beds, mobility aids, grab rails, or ramps to support your safety and independence at home.

  • Allied health services: Connecting you with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or psychology services to support your ongoing recovery. 

  • Short-term accommodation: If returning home immediately isn't the right option, we can arrange temporary accommodation while you build skills or wait for longer-term housing arrangements.

  • Community reconnection: Support to maintain connections with family and friends, and assistance to participate in activities that matter to you.

  • Advocacy and communication: Representing your preferences and needs with health providers, NDIS planners, and other services involved in your care.

  • Hospital Transition Support is funded in your NDIS plan under the following categories:

    Support Coordination (Capacity Building Supports)

    Specialist Support Coordination (Capacity Building Supports)

    Assistance with Social and Community Participation (Core Supports)

    If you're currently in hospital and don't have an NDIS plan, or if your existing plan doesn't include the supports you need for discharge, the NDIS has specialist hospital discharge teams who work quickly to approve plans and supports. Our team can work with NDIS Health Liaison Officers to ensure funding is in place before you leave hospital.

  • We're here to support NDIS participants throughout South East Queensland (Moreton Bay Regional, Ipswich City, Brisbane City, Logan City and Redland City) who are preparing to leave hospital. Our qualified and experienced team understands the complexities of hospital discharge and works collaboratively with health services to ensure your transition is safe and supported.

    The earlier we're involved, the smoother your transition will be. If you or a loved one is in hospital and preparing for discharge, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We can begin planning even while you're still receiving hospital care.
