What is Transitional Care?

Sometimes when you are experiencing serious mental illness you receive mental health support from the hospital.

As you start to feel a little better, and no longer need to be seen by the hospital, it is important to make sure that you have the support you need close to home.

How to Access

Our Mental Health Nurse can see you in a range of settings, such as:

  • At home
  • In the community
  • Inpatient mental health units

About Transitional Care

Transitional Care partners with the Wyong Mental Health team and ED team to help support patients transitioning from hospital or community mental health teams to health and community services, to ensure patients stay connected from home during recovery.

The program provides coordinated clinical care for people with mental illness and complex needs.
