Royal Rehab provides the therapy component of the Transitional Aged Care Program to clients residing in the Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD).
Royal Rehab works in partnership with NSLHD to administer the program in both a client’s home (TRANSPAC NS) and at a residential setting in Belrose (Northern Sydney Transition Care Unit).
The program provides time-limited, multidisciplinary therapy, nursing support and care services to persons aged 65 years and older to enable their return home from hospital following injury or illness. Royal Rehab provides a range of therapies from specialist allied health professionals which include occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, social workers, dieticians and allied health assistants. We aim to support people to continue to live in their own homes and participate in their local communities, independently as possible.
Referrals to the program require an assessment by the Local Aged Care Assessment Team. To be eligible, a person must be referred directly from their inpatient hospital admission.

Royal Rehab works in partnership with the Northern Sydney and Central Coast Local Health Districts to facilitate and administer the Stepping On program.
Stepping On is a free and exciting community-based falls prevention program for seniors. It is designed to build knowledge, strength and confidence to prevent falls and help you stay active and healthy.
Groups are targeted to persons who are 65 years and older, living in their own home, able to walk independently or with a walking stick and are fearful of falling or have experienced recent falls. In addition to standard group offerings, speciality groups targeting cultural and linguistically diverse populations are offered.
Referrals for the program can be made by your treating inpatient team, GP or you can self-register. For further information on the program, contact the Stepping On coordinator on 02 9450 7050.

Patients, consumers, healthcare providers and health service organisations all have an important part to play in achieving healthcare rights and contributing to a safe and high-quality healthcare system.
