For a participant in Bundoora it follows their NDIS plan and support needs, and it provides a calm place with disability support while the home arrangement is prepared.It is funded through the NDIS where the plan allows, not by the hospital.

Is hospital discharge accommodation the same as clinical care?

Which hospitals near Bundoora can you support a discharge from?

How is hospital discharge accommodation funded?

Short-term supported accommodation is funded from a participant's NDIS plan where it is included, usually from Core Supports. Whether it can be funded depends on the individual plan and how it is managed (self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed).We work through that with the family or coordinator before anything is arranged.

Can you take a participant straight from hospital at short notice?

Sometimes, but it is never guaranteed. Whether we can help depends on our current capacity and whether the arrangement fits the participant's NDIS plan.Reaching out early, before the discharge date where possible, gives us the best chance of being useful, and quick confirmation from the plan manager or NDIA helps.
