About Us

The Transition Care Program (TCP) is a major policy initiative between the State and Commonwealth Governments.

The TCP aims to minimise the number of older people experiencing inappropriate extended hospital lengths of stay, being prematurely admitted to residential care and/or prevent unnecessary presentations or admission to the Emergency Department. The program provides short term support and active management for older people at the interface of the acute/subacute and aged care (i.e. Community and residential) sector. The program is goal orientated to optimise the patient’s functional capacity and to finalise and access their longer term care arrangements or maintenance at home.

The TCP can be provided as a bed based or as a home based service. By offering case management, low intensity therapy and personal support, TCP allows older people more time and support in a non-hospital environment to complete their restorative processes, optimise their functional capacity and finalise their long term care arrangements.

About the Role

The TCP case management role will work closely and collaboratively with the interdisciplinary team, the Senior Clinicians and the TCP Manager to provide high level case management to the TCP clients across both the bed-based and home-based settings.

The case manager will work closely with the local team to deliver quality services to clients through strong clinical expertise. The position acts as a resource person on physiotherapist matters to other team members. The position aims to provide a flexible and responsive service that works to meet each client’s identified Transition Care goals. The case manager will have extensive knowledge of community services and the residential aged care sector and has highly developed skills in working with carers and families. The position involves working across TCP’s Home Based/Community Program and the Bed Based Program.
