Following discharge from hospital many people require support services for a short period while they complete their recovery. The FamilyCare Hospital to Home program is able to arrange short term services following discharge from hospital for people who are aged over 65 (50 if indigenous) or who have a disability.

Services provided under this program include:

• Domestic Assistance
• Personal care
• Flexible respite.

To obtain assistance through this program, referrals can be made through My Aged Care for people over 65, or directly to FamilyCare for people under 65.

For more information, contact Carer Support Services on 58 237081.

This program is jointly funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and the Victorian State Government Department of Health and Human Services.
