Multi-Funding Hospital Discharge and Clinical Transition, Across Australia
Nursing and attendant care, mobilised fast, across every major funding scheme.
Every day a clinically-ready patient waits for community supports is a bed that can’t be used and a readmission risk that grows. Ambition Health Group provides rapid, multi-funding clinical home care for hospital discharge, with nursing and attendant care mobilised quickly, across NDIS, TAC, DVA, WorkSafe, NIISQ, iCare and aged care. One provider, every funding stream, clinical handover handled.
Nursing and Attendant Care: Ready Now
For a discharge team, the question is simple: can you put a nurse and a support worker in the home now? For us, the answer is yes. We mobilise clinical and personal care staff rapidly, often same or next business day for confirmed referrals, so clinically stable patients leave hospital on time, not days later. Staff and equipment are in place before discharge day, not after.
Our cover spans the full range of needs. Community and complex nursing includes wound care, IV antibiotics handover, medication reconciliation, catheter and continence, and complex clinical needs. Attendant and personal care means support workers ready from the first day home, and our 24/7 capability gives high acuity patients continuous cover when they need it.
Discharge planners shouldn’t have to chase a different provider for every funding type. We accept and administer across all the major schemes, so whatever funds your patient’s care, the same team handles the transition home. This is the difference between a provider who says “that’s not our funding type” and one who simply takes the referral and gets the patient home.
A structured, low-risk transition from ward to home, designed to protect continuity of care and reduce readmission risk.

Whether it’s for respite care, trying a new living arrangement, or short-term support, our STA services provide a safe and comfortable place for you to stay while your regular carers take a break or until you transition to longer-term living.
Frequently Asked Questions: Hospital Discharge
Which funding schemes do you accept for hospital discharge?
All the major ones, including NDIS, TAC, DVA, WorkSafe/WorkCover, NIISQ, iCare, and aged care (Home Care Package / Support at Home), plus private. We administer the scheme requirements so funding doesn’t delay the discharge.
How quickly can support start after discharge?
For confirmed referrals we mobilise rapidly, often same- or next-business-day. We put staff and equipment in place before discharge day so the patient goes home on time.
Do patients pay for discharge support?
Approved supports are covered by the relevant scheme (NDIS, TAC, DVA, WorkSafe, NIISQ, iCare or aged care). Everyday living costs like groceries and utilities aren’t covered. We confirm what’s funded before anything starts.
What if there's no accommodation arranged at discharge?
We can arrange interim and longer-term options. Where new housing is needed, we offer rapid access to Transitional Housing (MTA, up to 90 days), Supported Independent Living (SIL), and long-term Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
Can you handle complex or high-acuity discharges?
Yes. We provide registered nurses and complex-care staff for high-intensity needs, including ventilator care, tracheostomy, enteral feeding and complex wound management, at home or in supported accommodation.
What does the clinical handover involve?
We take a structured handover from the ward covering clinical needs, medications, risks, equipment and goals, assign a single coordinator, mobilise the right team, and run structured follow-up to reduce readmission risk.
Who do discharge teams contact?
Call our priority discharge line on 1300 668 655 or submit a discharge referral. A coordinator confirms capacity the same business day and owns the handover from there.
