How to refer to Transition Care

If you know a current hospital inpatient who may benefit from the Transition Care Program please email TransitionCareReferrals@wh.org.au or contact the SNAP Helpline on 8345 7695 to discuss your referral and/or any questions you may have.

All areas of the referral form​ must be completed by a health professional and preferably a social worker. We also have a consent form, Bed Based TCP fee form and a Community Based TCP fee form which should be completed as part of the referral process.

If you feel that the Transition Care Program would be helpful for you, please talk to the social worker on your ward.

Please ensure all documents & medication are listed and is accompanied with the patient on transfer to the Transition Care Program.
