Home-based Post-acute Care
Post-Acute Care Services in Melbourne
Post-Acute Care is a vital phase of recovery that follows an acute medical stay at a public hospital, which focuses on continuous healing and rehabilitation. At Hub & Spoke Health, we recognise the significance of this stage and work with the major Melbourne Hospitals to offer specialised programs to aid in the post-acute journey.
Hub & Spoke Health is excited to add Post-Acute Care Services in Melbourne and the surrounding communities
What is Post-Acute Care?
Post-Acute Care (PAC) services refer to a range of healthcare services that are provided to individuals after they have been discharged from a hospital or other acute care setting. These services are designed to support patients in their transition from acute care to home or community-based care, and to facilitate their recovery and rehabilitation.
Post-Acute Care services typically include a multidisciplinary approach, involving a team of healthcare professionals who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care. The exact services offered may vary depending on the specific needs and condition of the patient, but commonly include:
Home-based care: Hub & Spoke Health practitioners provide both Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology services within the PAC realm.

What Are The Benefits of Post-Acute Care?
This essential phase of medical care extends beyond the hospital walls, providing a range of benefits that play a crucial role in optimising patient outcomes and overall well-being. Post-acute care encompasses a comprehensive and personalised approach, tailoring interventions to each individual’s specific needs and circumstances.
By offering ongoing medical attention, rehabilitation, and support, this phase of care not only ensures a smoother transition from hospital to home but also prevents re-admission to hospital.

Melbourne Post-Acute Care Services: Your Pathway to Recovery
Post-Acute Care services are typically tailored to the specific needs of each patient and are aimed at promoting recovery, enhancing quality of life, and preventing rehospitalisation. These services are typically coordinated by a healthcare team that works closely with the patient, their family, and other healthcare providers to develop and implement a personalised care plan.
Hub & Spoke Health contributes to the patient’s ongoing rehabilitation by enabling a smoother transition from hospital to home. In doing so, we accelerate the healing process and minimise the risk of readmission or complications.
Hub & Spoke Health can help patients safely transition from hospital to home.

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.
