Practical coordination and eligible community support to help a person move from hospital into a suitable, supported daily routine.
A transition from hospital can involve several people and services. Practical support helps clarify what needs to be ready in the community, who is responsible and how information will be handed over. The person’s preferences and consent guide coordination. The hospital retains responsibility for clinical discharge planning and treatment. Community supports begin within an agreed scope, with arrangements for follow-up and any change in needs.
People with disability whose discharge requires coordinated community supports, alongside the hospital’s clinical responsibilities.
Eligible disability support funding or a written health or community purchasing arrangement. Inpatient treatment remains a health-system responsibility.
The person, hospital team and relevant providers clarify the destination, funded supports, handover and contingency arrangements before commencement.
Provide the expected discharge date and support priorities.
Confirm consent, funding and the discharge team contact.
Agree the handover and post-discharge support plan.
