Who Can Access Transition Care?

Post-hospital transition care may support older people who are medically ready to leave hospital but require short-term assistance during recovery. Government-funded Transition Care Program services require an assessment and approval before discharge from hospital.

Supporting Recovery at Home

Transition care is goal-oriented and may be provided at home, in the community, in an aged care setting or through a combination of locations. The Australian Government Transition Care Program generally provides short-term support for up to 12 weeks to help eligible older people regain independence and potentially avoid premature entry into longer-term care.

What services may be included?

Depending on assessed needs, services may include personal care, nursing, allied health, household assistance and support with daily activities.
