Breaking the Cycle of Long Hospital Stays
Across Queensland, many NDIS participants remain in hospital longer than necessary, unable to transition into the community due to a lack of suitable accommodation and support. These extended stays impact a person’s independence and well-being while placing financial strain on Queensland’s healthcare system.
Your Best Life Disability and Health Services (YBLDHS) provides NDIS hospital transition services to help participants move into safe, appropriate housing with the right supports in place. By working closely with hospitals, Queensland Health, and NDIS stakeholders, we facilitate smoother discharges that improve both health outcomes and system efficiency.
How We Can Help: NDIS Hospital Transition Services
YBLDHS offers comprehensive support to help NDIS participants transition from hospital care into independent or supported living. Our services include:
- Supported Independent Living (SIL): 24/7 support in shared or individual living arrangements
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): Immediate access to SDA properties for eligible participants
- Leased Accommodation: Secure community tenancies for participants without SDA funding
- Allied Health & Clinical Support: Nursing, behaviour support, psychology, and functional capacity assessments
- Community Participation: Engagement programs that enhance independence, daily living skills, and social connection
We have successfully facilitated hospital discharges in Central Queensland, Metropolitan Brisbane, Sunshine Coast Hospital Services, and more, ensuring well-supported and sustainable transitions.
Reducing Hospital Pressures, Improving Patient Well-Being
Extended hospital stays cost Queensland Health millions of dollars annually and can significantly impact a participant’s quality of life. Â
Community-based living fosters independence, social connection, and long-term well-being.
At YBLDHS, we:
- Ensure appropriate supports are in place before discharge
- Maximise NDIS plan funding to secure suitable accommodation and care
- Collaborate with hospitals, NDIS planners, support coordinators, and allied health professionals to streamline the transition
