Support for NDIS participants who are medically ready to leave hospital and require disability-related assistance to transition safely back home, into temporary accommodation or into an approved longer-term living arrangement.

We work with participants, hospitals and NDIS teams to establish disability supports for a safe transition from hospital.

How we can help

  • Coordination with hospital discharge teams and support coordinators
  • Establishing funded support workers before discharge
  • Personal care at home
  • Daily living support
  • Community access
  • Temporary transition arrangements, where funded
  • Coordination of MTA, SIL and SDA pathways
  • Establishing routines and supports after discharge
  • Liaison with allied health providers
  • Implementing the participant’s support plan
  • Preparing the home environment

Who is responsible for what

The health system remains responsible for clinical hospital care and safe discharge planning. NDIS-funded disability supports can then help the participant transition and live in the community. Support coordination may continue during the hospital stay, which helps supports to be ready on the day of discharge.

Support Foundation assesses every referral individually. We only accept supports that fall within our NDIS registration, workforce competencies, clinical governance arrangements and capacity to deliver safely. Where a participant requires supports outside our scope, we work with the participant and their representatives to identify an appropriate provider.
