Brain & Spinal Injury Recovery & Complex Care

Safe Discharges for NDIS Participants with Complex Needs, Led by PhDs and RNs

Complex Hospital Transition

Transitioning from hospital to home is a critical and sensitive phase, especially for participants with complex medical, neurological, or psychosocial needs. Innovative Australian Care (IAC) specialises in hospital-to-home transitions that prioritise safety, dignity, and continuity of care.

Our clinical team, led by PhD level experts, registered nurses, and quality specialists, works closely with the hospital care team and the families of the people we support to ensure every participant is fully prepared to start a new chapter with confidence.

We Coordinate:

Every discharge plan follows our innovative Lean Six Sigma Protocols,  reducing readmissions and ensuring structured, safe care delivery.
