Discharge shouldn’t stall waiting for supports. We start planning the day you call.
Coordination, care, high intensity supports, therapy and housing under one roof fewer handoffs, fewer gaps.
Leaving hospital is emotional, not just logistical, our psychology-led team plans for both.
We know Burwood and its services, supports set up where you actually live.
Leaving St John of God Burwood is a milestone and a vulnerable moment. Founded by a psychologist, Affective Care plans the transition around your wellbeing, home and family not just paperwork.
We assess quickly; needs, risks, home suitability and what the treating team advises.
We build the discharge package; supports, equipment, housing and therapy with the discharge planner, family and NDIA.
We’re there on day one and after; adjusting supports as real life at home shows what’s working and what needs to change.
Leaving a mental health admission can feel more daunting than arriving. We set up the psychosocial supports, routines and therapy that make home feel safe again minutes from our own Campsie clinic.
Ongoing NDIS supports for mental health recovery practical help that makes home life sustainable.
Psychosocial disability can qualify for the NDIS, we help build the evidence and application from the ward.

These are common home areas for St John of God Burwood discharges, we support the wider region too.
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge, it changes address. Our commitment: steady psychosocial supports, warm handovers and a team that answers the phone in the weeks that matter most.
Discharge isn’t one-size-fits-all. We build the option that’s actually safe:
Call from the ward, the waiting room, or home, we take it from there.
The earlier we’re in, the smoother it goes. We’ll assess needs and liaise with the treating team same-week.
Supports, housing, equipment and therapy organised in parallel honest timelines shared with everyone.
Supports start on discharge day then we review in the first weeks and adjust as home life settles in.
Referring from St John of God Burwood? Send the referral, we’ll respond within one business day with what we can mobilise, and honest timeframes for the rest.
We accept complex, high intensity and psychosocial discharges, including participants without safe housing.
NDIS-registered across the support types discharges actually need coordination, daily personal activities, high intensity, accommodation and therapeutic supports with one contact point for your whole referral.
You don’t have to organise a discharge alone. Call us, we’ll explain what can be arranged, work alongside the St John of God Burwood team, and keep you and your family informed at every step.
The best discharges are planned early. One call today means supports, housing and therapy ready when your team says you’re ready.

St John of God Burwood specialises in mental health care, so discharge planning here is psychosocial planning: routines, support workers, therapy continuity and where housing is part of the risk a safe place to go. As a psychology-led provider based nearby in Campsie, this transition is exactly our home ground.
We start planning the day you call and can often mobilise care workers and coordination within days. Honest caveat: some elements NDIA plan changes, equipment orders, housing have their own approval timeframes. We move everything we control fast and give you straight answers on the rest.
That’s one of the most common reasons discharges stall and something we specifically solve. Short Term or Medium Term Accommodation (STA/MTA) can bridge the gap while home is modified or a longer-term option like Supported Independent Living is arranged.
Yes. A hospital stay is often when disability support needs first become clear. We help you and your family understand NDIS access, gather the evidence the application needs, and work with the treating team, so the process starts before you’re home.
Support workers for routine and daily living, psychosocial recovery-focused coordination, ongoing psychology and behaviour support, and where housing is part of the risk interim or supported accommodation. Everything is paced for the fragile first weeks home.
Your NDIS plan different pieces draw on different budgets: Core funding for daily care, Capacity Building for coordination and therapy, and dedicated STA/MTA funding for interim accommodation. We’ll map your plan and tell you exactly what’s covered before anything starts.
Yes, Burwood, Strathfield, Croydon, Ashfield, Concord, Five Dock, Campsie and the wider region. If you’re going home somewhere else entirely, ask between local teams and telehealth therapy we cover more ground than this list.
Ongoing supports and therapy are exactly what we set up and please know discharge support isn’t a crisis service. If you’re in crisis or at immediate risk, call 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24/7). For everything else, call us on 1300 615 193.
Understanding your first NDIS plan is easier when you know how each budget works and where different supports are funded. Three budgets, unfamiliar category names, different flexibility rules and real money that only helps if you know how to use it. Here’s the plain-English version. (Completely new to the scheme?

Understanding the NDIS can feel like learning a new language, especially when you encounter terms like NDIS Improved Daily Living, CB Daily Activity supports, or NDIS capacity building. Many people hear “Improved Daily Living” and assume it simply means getting day-to-day support. In reality, its purpose is completely different. NDIS Improved Daily Living sits within Capacity Building […]

Ongoing supports, Support Coordination, SIL and therapy continue long after discharge day.
