Home-based Healthcare Melbourne
Hospital in the Home
Hub & Spoke Health participates with major hospitals in Melbourne to help deliver Hospital in the Home services to those in need.
Hub & Spoke Health is excited to add Hospital in the Home to its list of services.
What is Hospital in the Home (HITH)?
Hospital in the Home (HITH) is a healthcare service that provides acute medical care to patients in the comfort of their own home, instead of receiving care in a traditional hospital setting. HITH is designed for patients who require hospital-level care but do not necessarily need to be admitted to a hospital.
HITH services typically involve a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and other specialists, who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care in the patient’s home. The main goal of HITH is to provide timely and effective medical care, monitoring, and treatment, while also promoting patient comfort and convenience, and reducing the need for hospitalisation. Hub & Spoke Health contributes to HITH by providing physiotherapy services.

Care Coordination
The HITH team works closely with the patient, their family, and other healthcare providers to develop and implement a personalised care plan, and to coordinate care services to ensure continuity of care. This may involve regular communication and coordination with the patient’s primary care doctor or other specialists.

What Are The Benefits of Hospital in the Home?
Also known as mobile healthcare services, Hospital in the Home (HITH) services have emerged as a transformative approach that brings forth a multitude of advantages. With the evolution of medical technology and patient-centered care, these services have redefined the traditional healthcare model, offering patients a range of benefits that prioritise comfort, flexibility, and personalised treatment.
By extending medical care to patients’ homes, HITH services have not only revolutionised the patient experience but have also effectively addressed issues of overcrowding in hospitals and reduced healthcare costs.

We want to help you get back to doing the things you love
HITH services are typically provided for a specific duration of time, depending on the patient’s condition and needs. The program is suitable for patients with acute medical conditions that can be managed safely and effectively at home, and who meet the eligibility criteria for HITH services.
Hub and Spoke Health currently provides care to patients within the Hospital in the Home (HITH) program in Melbourne.

Our mobile Allied Health services
Mobile healthcare allows you to receive tailored allied health support at home, rather than travelling to a provider. Across Australia, you can schedule a visit and receive care in the environment that matters most, your everyday space. When you book a mobile appointment with Hub & Spoke, our practitioner delivers personalised care designed around your needs, your goals, and your home set-up.
Our Hub & Spoke practitioners will bring their equipment with them so you get the full benefit of a clinic visit without leaving your home. The biggest benefit of assessing you at home is we get to understand your home environment. As a result, we can make instant changes to anything that could be contributing to your aches and pains, or restrictions in movement.
Our initial consultations run for 1-hour and follow-up appointments for 30-45 minutes, potentially reducing the number of visits you’ll need and providing value for money.
We’ll bring our experience and equipment to your home to provide the best evidence-based physiotherapy to support you in moving and living better.
We deeply understand fitness, exercise prescription, dosage, anatomy, physiology and most importantly, we prevent you from re-injuring yourself.
Art Therapy uses the creative process of art to enhance the emotional and physical well-being of children and adults. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home, and we bring all art supplies with us.
Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home. Our music therapists bring an array of instruments with them to cater to any therapeutic musical preferences.
Our skilled therapists can help you regain independence and reach your goals. Whether you’re suffering from a physical injury or mental health condition, we’re here to help.
There are times in life when you need a little more—someone who has additional training and experience to support you (or your patient), or they need post-hospital care. Whether that’s cancer care, paediatric physio, transition care program, hospital in the home or aged care physio.
