NDIS Discharge Accommodation near St Vincent’s Hospital

For St Vincent’s social workers and discharge planners

Many St Vincent’s patients have complex needs and have spent long periods on the ward. We work with the hospital team and the support coordinator to find the right home, plan the handover and keep the person’s routines and community links in place.

How a St Vincent’s discharge to Eden Ability works

1. Refer: send the basics through our one minute referral form or call 1300 228 856.
2. Review: we call back within one business day and check the person’s needs and what their NDIS plan covers.
3. Match: we suggest the home that fits, usually Sydney CBD and Bondi Junction for inner city and eastern suburbs families.
4. Move: the person moves in on MTA while SIL and SDA are finalised, and most choose to stay on long term.

Funding not sorted yet?

Call us anyway. Many referrals come to us before SIL or SDA is approved. We help the support coordinator request MTA so the person can leave hospital sooner, and we explain every option so the participant keeps choice and control.

Do you take NDIS discharge referrals from St Vincent’s Hospital?

Yes. Eden Ability takes NDIS hospital discharge referrals from St Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst. Social workers, discharge planners and support coordinators can refer through our one minute form or call 1300 228 856.

Which Eden Ability homes are closest to St Vincent’s Hospital?

Our closest homes are in Sydney CBD and Bondi Junction, a short drive from Darlinghurst. We also have homes across Sydney and in Mittagong if the person wants to live near family elsewhere.

Can a long stay patient at St Vincent’s move out before SDA or SIL is approved?

Often, yes. NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is usually funded for up to 90 days while SIL and SDA are being finalised. Many of our MTA clients then stay on long term in the same home, so they only move once.

How fast can Eden Ability respond to a St Vincent’s referral?

We call back within one business day. Send the referrer’s details, the ward, the patient’s first name, the expected discharge date and the NDIS funding in place, and we will review the match and talk you through the options.
