When You Leave

Preparing for your discharge home

We recommend that before admission you consider how you will manage at home after discharge. Will you require someone to stay with you after being discharged? How will you prepare food, do the housekeeping and shopping? Will you need any special aids?

If you would like to discuss your discharge needs prior to admission, contact the Pre Admission Coordinator on 03 5723 0937. This service is available two days a week.

Your doctor will tell you when he or she thinks you are well enough to go home. Your Nurse will talk to you about any special services or equipment you may need after you are discharged. If required, our Physiotherapist will consult with you.

Discharge time is at 10.00 am. It is recommended that you arrange a relative or friend to assist you in getting home, or alternatively Reception staff will call a taxi for you.
