State and Territory governments are the approved providers of transition care. Transition care helps you recover after a hospital stay. It provides short-term specialised care and support to help you regain your functional independence and confidence sooner, and avoid the need for longer term care and support services. Your care is tailored to your needs and goals, and is delivered in the most appropriate place to help you meet them. This could be in an aged care home, in Swan Hill District Health, in your own home, out in the community, or a mix of these locations, as your needs change with your recovery.
