Rehabilitation and complex care (subacute) services play an integral role within Victoria’s health care system, supporting people to maximise their independence and functioning, and minimise long-term health needs.
Rehabilitation and complex care are a diverse group of services promoting effective seamless care, from acute care back into the community. These services are provided in hospitals, community rehabilitation centres and in people’s homes.
Admitted rehabilitation
Admitted rehabilitation is aimed at maximising independence and quality of life for a person with a disability.
Geriatric Evaluation and Management
Geriatric Evaluation and Management improves the functioning of older people who have complex and multiple medical, functional and often cognitive conditions.
Maintenance care
Maintenance care is support for patients who have ongoing care need but no longer require an acute admission.
Health Independence Program
The Health Independence Program supports people in the community, in ambulatory settings and in people’s homes to maximise their independence.
Renal health
The renal health system in Victoria provides coordinated statewide services for people with chronic kidney disease.
