How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.

  • Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
  • Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
  • Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
  • Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What does "Trusted" mean? The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

Transition Care Programme Providers in Australia

Recover at Home After Hospital with Transition Care in Australia

Leaving hospital after a stay can be daunting, especially when you are not yet strong enough to manage on your own. The Transition Care Programme (TCP) bridges that gap. It provides short-term, goal-oriented support to help older Australians recover, rebuild strength, and return to independent living after a hospital stay.

MD Home Care connects you with Transition Care providers in Australia who deliver coordinated recovery support either in your own home or in a residential setting.

What is the Transition Care Programme?

The TCP is a joint Australian Government and state/territory programme designed for older people who:

  • Have been in hospital and need more time and support before they can safely live at home
  • Would otherwise need to enter residential aged care prematurely
  • Have the potential to improve their functional capacity with the right short-term support

Transition care is not ongoing aged care. It is a time-limited programme (typically up to 12 weeks) focused on recovery and regaining independence.

What Does Transition Care Include?

Providers in Australia deliver a tailored package of services based on your recovery goals:

  • Allied health therapies including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology
  • Nursing care for wound management, medication support, and clinical monitoring
  • Personal care assistance with showering, dressing, and mobility
  • Social work support to plan your return home and connect with ongoing services
  • Case management to coordinate all aspects of your recovery plan
  • Equipment and home modifications assessment to prepare your home for a safe return

How to Access Transition Care

Transition care is arranged before you leave hospital:

  1. ACAT assessment. An Aged Care Assessment Team assesses your eligibility while you are still in hospital.
  2. Approval. If approved, your hospital team arranges a transition care place.
  3. Care delivery. You receive transition care either at home or in a residential facility, depending on your needs and what is available.
  4. Goal-focused recovery. Your care plan is reviewed regularly, with the aim of returning you to independent living.

Transition Care Settings

  • Home-based transition care. You return to your own home in Australia and receive visits from therapists, nurses, and support workers. This is the preferred option for people with adequate home support and a safe living environment.
  • Residential transition care. You stay in a dedicated transition care bed at a residential aged care facility while receiving intensive rehabilitation. This option suits people who need 24-hour support during their recovery.

After Transition Care

When your transition care ends, you may:

  • Return to living independently at home
  • Move to a Home Care Package for ongoing support
  • Access the Support at Home programme
  • Enter residential aged care if independent living is no longer safe

MD Home Care can help you find the right provider for whatever comes next.
